Since the Day we Married

Since the Day we Married

“Caught between clarity & confusion,
Niki keeps trying to hold on to
those slipping, dream-like moments…

It feels like Nil’s mind
never stops wandering to Niki…
Every whisper inside him reaches out,
trying to hold the moments they lost.”

“ Enough now, please stop & hear,
Years ago, the scene was so different, so clear.

Before marriage,
every moment of mine
belonged to you alone,
In each other’s breaths
we found a quiet home.

Just thinking of you would free me
from the study & day work
I forgot, worries swept away.

Under the stars,
our calls ran through the night,
I’d rush with my phone, holding it tight.

Sitting for hours…on the hostel stairs so still,
with the moon as my guide,
heart calm & filled,
talking to you by my side.

💫 But since the day we married,
Life runs in a different race
Between hurried mornings & endless chase.
We laugh as we rush the kids off to school &
time for each other hiding behind routines, quiet but full,

Every moment we worry
for everyone else’s needs,
Ignoring our own hearts
as life’s garden feeds.

Day and night we run,
forgetting what we were,
Two souls who breathed
only for each other.

💫 Since the day we married,
Someone else now claims
each second we share…
Yet somehow,
in the quiet, tired hours,
I still look for you there….

– ..Niki.
