Saranya Prabhakaran

20 July, 2024

Flashbacks are both beautiful and painful

The beauty and pain in remembering your infectious laugh

The streets and lanes that we loitered around

Now feels deserted

That tree where we took cover from the rain,

Which drenched our hearts with love

Now looks lonely

That fragrance of coffee beans from our favourite coffee shop

Now stinks from your indifference

The alcohol that once made me sing and dance with you

Now just feels like plain water,

ineffective in closing the hole in my heart.

The songs we sang together, lost in each other’s eyes

Now wells up my hopeless eyes
