Tumse juda ho kar, Jo bhi ghazal maine suni,  Un sa ek antra maine tumhare liye likha,  Jis bhi raaste se main guzri,  Maine tumhara naam apne zehen mein likha, Jis bhi mandir dargah mein maine dua maangi, Toh us har dua mein tumhara achcha hi likha, Jis bhi rang ko maine chuna har din, Tumhari Nazar se maine har baar khud ko dekha,  Tumse nafrat karun, yeh baat bahut baar sochi, Par tumse mohabbat itni thi ki dil ke aage dimaag hazaaron karodon baar haara,  Toh maine zindagi tumhare naam kar di, Aur har saans ko bhi tumhare naam kiya.  Medhavi  30/04/24

'You left me on read' Seconds after texting you the last goodbye, I was holding my phone and waiting for your response, My hands were shaking, my heart was pounding, I saw you were online and then offline without a word, I held my phone for hours, even while working, Because I didn't want to miss even a message that might send and then 'delete for everyone'.  I remember holding my phone while I passed out,  And waking up with every vibration and sound,  Pinning your chat on top and  looking at my phone day & night, Getting drunk and senseless but only feeling my hand, Because it held the phone,  Taking a bath and still looking at our chat, But, no, you didn't care to respond.  You left me on "read" - Part 1 -  * You left me on read *  Another day, same longing,  For that customized notification sound, For those stickers that expressed how you felt. Still the same question in my mind, How are you able to do this ? Is moving on from me so convenient?
