letters i never sent - written a year ago

To my future love, 

 The first time I felt your presence, I began joining the dots in the sky,wondering when our stars would align.  

I often think of where you are and if you're happy. Are you in love with someone else? I hope she is gentle and treats your dear heart with care. I know you and i are the same in that way -- we bruise a little more easily that most. You see, our souls were made in the same breath.  

I know i'm running late -- I'm sorry. Things haven't worked out the way I planned.  But believe me, I am on my way.  

Until then, think of me, dream of me and i will do the same. One day i will learn your name, and i will write it somewhere on this page.  

And we will realise we have known each other all along. 

Yours always, 

Z. Arshad 

dimensions

I’m made of four dimensions - space and time, heart and soul.

I am my own universe, infinite and whole.

My skin is not a boundary, I’m too much to be contained

More than person, more than words, I cannot be explained

My thoughts fill up the room as they seep through all my pores

They’ll leak out of the windows and they’ll break down the doors

So don’t you dare define me, I am made up of unknowns

You cannot hold me back, I am not caged by my bones.  

little did i know

I remembered how i promised myself that i’ll never search for love again, that i’ll never force my heart to love again and if love came to find me, i’d greet it with open arms.
Little did i know, you were right there all the time, and that’s when i finally understood.  
I fell in love with all your crazy character, with your warm words and inspirational advice.  
My feeling for you began to grow and i believe that you’re the other half of me, that your name was destined to be written next to mine.
That you’re finally the one whom i’ll settle down and spend my whole life by your side, travelling the world, improving in ourselves and striving beyond the skies.  
And i wouldn’t want it any other way or with any other person.
