Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Cold and dull mornings

spent wishing you were back here

in this bed again.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Please just stay a while.
Just until the fog settles,
until calm finds us.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
These empty houses
filled with wonted reminders
and ghosts of the past.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I don’t care how far
I have to go, if you leave,
take me with you.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
We are the stories
we tell the children we meet.
We are the magic.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
How do you manage,
to make mountains on my skin,
to move me like this?
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
I am so restless
from chasing shadows of you.
Will this ever end?
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
You are so much more

than this longing and this ache.

You are art in form.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Will you remind me
to be patient through it all?
Will you stay with me?
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
Wrapped in exhaustion,
I rolled over to your side;
I swore I felt you.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Without thinking twice
you saved me from the soundless
I was headed for.
Aishwarya Nair Dec 2015
Can you feel me ache

each time you get up to leave?

Will you ever stay?
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Speak to me simply,
trembling voice and shaky hands.
Speak, I will listen.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
It's in the longing,
the waiting with bated breath,
that we find ourselves.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
Love me in between
sentences we try to make
through our breathlessness.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
I've always been yours.
Even if you don’t admit,
you’ve always been mine.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
It was you I found
in the darkest hours of life.
It was always you.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
I think of your eyes
and the tales only they spin.
I think of your smile.
Aishwarya Nair Dec 2015
Will you promise to
bring comfort to shaking hands?
You are all they need.
Aishwarya Nair Dec 2015
We are more than here,
more than terror and chaos.
We are more than now.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
Do you remember
the promises that you made?
Will you return home?
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
There is so much more
waiting to unfold for us.
Stay for the magic.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Teach me of patience
and let me bathe in your calm.
Breathe life into me.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
I'll never hurt you.
No matter the obstacles,
I’ll stay true to you.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I’ll never forget
the magic and elegance
I worshipped in you.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
Warm hands on warm cups,
a pleasant chill in the air;
mornings spent in love.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
With new found friendship
and stomach aching laughter,
we found our hearts full.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
Will we still be us
when all of this is over?
Will you still be here?
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Your side of the bed
remains as cold as always.
Please make your way home.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
We find the music,
the magic, in the mundane,
if we look for it.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Bring to me longing
and watch me settle the ache
as I bring comfort.
Aishwarya Nair Aug 2015
I love you, I do.
I have waited a lifetime
just to call you mine.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
Your hands on my waist,
leading a familiar dance;
your grin matching mine.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I heard you whisper,
over and over again,
“Will I be enough?”
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Was I everything

you imagined I would be?

Does it still matter?
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
Distance has nothing
on the indescribable
bond only we share.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
You are not broken
and I don’t need to fix you,
always remember.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Forgive these hands for

needing to hold you always.

They don’t know better.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Mornings in your arms,
not having to pull away,
like prayers answered.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
So many sunsets,
as unfinished memories,
spent watching alone.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
I don’t want to spend

any more time by myself,

you can come home now.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Did you find the light
in my dark, in my chaos?

Was it beautiful?
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
There are parts of me
aching to be touched again,
but only by you.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Let me offer you
my humble gratitude for
saving me always.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Soothe these weary bones,

make up for the lack of us,

hold me closer now.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
I heard you giggle,
softly, through the exhaustion.
It settled the ache.
Aishwarya Nair Oct 2015
Love asks you to stay.
A while, the night, forever.
Love seeks adventure.
Aishwarya Nair Nov 2015
Burnt Thursday dinners,
rushed Monday morning breakfasts;
I want these with you.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
I am terrified
this heart will forget to beat
if you ever leave.
Aishwarya Nair Sep 2015
With precise purpose
the wind messes up your hair,
finding calm in you.
