Every us.

 Every book, every song and every romance,

we believed we belonged to the love stories.

The ones that end happily in a way, like the ones we see on the screens.

I believed all I wanted was a romance.

and then I met you. We were just you and me.

without definitions. We talked for hours without any labels.

Because we weren't supposed to be seen yet.

and you told me one day we will. So all the grey skies will be pretty.


Like the rain on the back of my hands,

the walks beyond time and the silence that made me want to write books about us.

We were not the love story we set out seeking at fifteen.

we're the kind of story that people search for,

the ones they pray for. You made faith look beautiful than it used to be.

every day that we stay apart added to the eternity I dream about.

I remember walking to you, and I was so blind

That I didn't see the love in your eyes then.

Too young to know what love is.

So you showed me what it means to be a friend.


And your heart looked like mine. 

every crack and every bruise, every flower and every piece of me.

Loving you is like seeing in colours in a black window.

we aren't made for now, because we are meant to be.

And like that, every us in a parallel world aligned one by one.

to let us collide into each other, in plain sight.

For every us, it will always be worth it.
