The Feelings We Hid

By Shreelakshmi Byndoor

The songs that you inked

of the feelings you hid,

played by itself.

‘cos you never had the courage

to pick up the mic babe.

Neither did you know that I bought the diary first;

To pen how we looked so much better

together in my head.

Now grow up and be responsible

of making me fall in love with you;

for everyday that made me good at not leaving you.
