You are my favourite distraction,

Favourite leisure,

Favourite hobby, passion, igniting day light!

You are my favourite part of the day,

My habitual obsession, part of daily life!

You have become my schedule,

My routine- how can I therefore oblige?!

Your absence takes me back to abyss,

Cause you are my twilight!

Why does day and night divide us- the divine embodiment?!

Why does maps distances us?

Why are you so far away?

Why can’t we merge as one like the roots inside of the soils,

Sultan of my hearts Saltanat,

And, I want to crown you on the throne of my heart and seal it with love,

Captivate you inside!

You are not free of the clutches of my love now,

For now you’ll have to be accountable for your absence,

How can you forget your queen who dwells inside the walls of your heart so overwhelmed?!

Audacity

Oh, the audacity of leaving the person you love! To walk away with steady feet, While their heart still trembles
