Today, I received a heartwarming message from someone who has been listening to my podcast for almost three years. I’ve been inactive for a while. I’ve recorded plenty of poems, but never posted them. I’m not sure why—life has just been curling around me in its own way.

What a beautiful dream it was. I knew it would hurt me. I knew that in the end, all I could get was a sobbing heart and a soul more broken than before. But I decided to live in the illusion. The illusion of getting a forever that I once pictured, a hand I saw holding mine, a shoulder I laid my head on to cry.

Written by Parveen Shakir Kabhi neend mein kabhi hosh mein Tu jahan mila tujhe dekh kar na nazar mili na zuban hili Yunhi sar jhuka k guzar gae.
