San Francisco

 Assalamualaikum

I know many things from you.
And from them, stemmed the other wonderful things I love. 
I had always dreamed of the city you lived in. 
Always wanted to discover the places you went to,
And was always starstruck each time I heard the name of your city. 
Because it had you in it. It had you in the arms, tight. 

Now I live in the city you once were in.
And the thought of you no longer crosses my mind so often like before. 
But sometimes, listening to his voice reminds me of you. 
And how you never really liked his new arts. 

I think it's quite weird and funny,
How you managed to make me cry like a fool in the train,
Was it really love or just another escape infatuation? 
Or you were just too kind and nice to me,
That it felt like a dream came true if you were to accept me. 

Now I'm so thankful to Allah that you never had it in you to hold my hands. 
Because now I'm able to meet someone whose hands are perfect. 
And whose whole being is just so breathtaking that sometimes I regret the tears I let down because of you.

Sleepless Nights

Assalamualaikum I took a peek at the sky just now, It was dark, Seemed sad, Just like you. You couldn't comprehend a thing, Your outer world and the inside of your head, Everything was spinning and you had always been losing. You couldn't smile from your heart, And it was even harder in loneliness, when none was looking, You felt helpless, and once again you decided to run away. They said you always took an easy step, Running away from the storms and hurricanes, Hitting every wooden roof and destroying every heart, They stayed while looking at you packing up yourself and fled away. They told me it wasn't fair. But little did they know, you're also hurting. But not like those who seemed strong, you admitted your defeat, Raised up the white flag, Kissed everything goodbye. Maybe you couldn't think of a way out of the maze, Everything was so suffocating, even to breathe for a second it was nearly impossible, Your chest felt tight, you kept

Short Story

I know I need to study more and do something about the Chemistry thing. The midterm result has been pinned on the batch board. And of course, once again I failed to be on the top 10 list. Mom and dad won't surely say a thing, but I know they're hoping for something. "Guess I should be heading to the library," BUK! "Ouch!" A girl's voice reaches my ears. "Oh I'm sorry, really sorry!" Man I couldn't do a thing right! "Nah, it's okay," I help her pick up her books. Rachel. Oh, this Rachel. The best student in this college. Guess I know some facts about her. She is her daddy's favourite, he is so positive of her being in Harvard few years later. Oh she can also speak French, bet she's fluent. A nice and good girl. Also, a beauty. Perfect, huh? "Hey," She turns around to face me. "Congrats on being the best student again," She beams me a sweet smile. And walks aw

"Slut!"

 Assalamualaikum You're deserving of beautiful songs with sweet melodies, Scenting with roses and bits of peonies, Sweet and citrusy, Just like your favourite drink. In my other dream in another night, I felt suffocated as I missed your natural scent so much. And how much I regretted taking another path, Which no longer lead me to you.  I woke up feeling scared and at ease, As you were laying down next to me, Sleeping soundly and still dashingly looking.  You're a blessing sent by Him. And your whole being is everything I need.  And I want no other.  For all the late nights and early mornings, I could never thank you enough.  And no apology could ever make up for everything. You take me as I am. You see all the shameless flaws I'm owning up and never leave.  You make me feel loved, so much, despite my hideous sides I once scared to show.  You pamper me so much till I forgot how human you are, And how much you mean to me. Now I'm telling you I still like you a little bit
