I hope...

That's all I can do!

To anyone reading this, I hope you are happy. Hopeful. And a bit optimistic.

I hope you have deleted all the pictures. The chats. The notes

I hope you don’t go back to those at nights when you are not able to sleep.

I hope you have not abandoned your favorite city because you fear that one encounter.

I hope you still watch the shows you watched with them and feel the same.

I hope every time that song plays your lips don’t crave a cigarette.

I hope you still like flowers. Rains. Terraces. And adrak waali chai.

I hope you still visit your favorite cafes. Breakfast spots. And pani puri thelas.

I wish every time someone mentions them, you have a smile on your face.

I hope that one t-shirt, which they chose for you, you still wear.

I hope those gifts they gave you, you still cherish.

I hope you still vouch for the team they support.

I hope you don’t find them in your next partner.

I hope!
