KANIKA CHUGHMy anxious self always melted in your arms, then. Now your grin from another screen telling me “its going to be okay” works just the same.
KANIKA CHUGHAnd there are times when even precious bonds break. Just like that!
KANIKA CHUGHThe idea of shooting stars never fascinated me. I couldn’t understand why would anyone want to break others for their wishes to come true.
KANIKA CHUGHYou could have my soul and the body. Fool that you were; tried force on flesh instead. And lost the one who would have wrapped you up in her prayers.

KANIKA CHUGHI expressed because you gave me enough freedom be myself around you, and thus, you deserve the same. You deserve to be heard too and not be counseled to at your attempt.

KANIKA CHUGHLips getting dried, heart pumping faster, sweat seeping through the pores, cheeks turning red. Dear summer, stop acting like my lover.

KANIKA CHUGHWords come and flow with me instantaneously. Perhaps, those were abandoned too by someone.
KANIKA CHUGHYou blew me off to have your wish. But what other purpose do candles serve?
