I can’t hear your sighs
while you think I do not care enough.
I would love to bind myself and my life
around you,
Had I not been so sure
that freedom is the only measure of happiness for me.

The love they talk about
is not in my heart.
I can’t harbor such sweetness.
I can’t live in surrender.
I was not made for that.
My heart was not made to be loved,
but to be cherished.
I won’t settle for anything less.
I do not ask for anything more.

My idea of love was never
the protection or sense of safety I always lacked.
Or admiration true or false
that could put to sleep the complexes I have.
Or to be touched in ways
that make human hearts race.

My idea of love was
to be so precious to someone
that they you never
change me or break me.

You changed me.
You broke me.
And I only remember the sighs you took while doing so.
Making me feel less than what I am.

But still, I breathe the same air as you,
Cause,
Once,
You almost loved me.

Hi,
I am Nayana Nair. I'm 28. Just a person who has tons of things to talk about....not much organized thoughts sadly.
I'm interested in all forms of storytelling (though I don't have the talent for it). So I like series, movies, novels, anime, and whatnot. I'm also really passionate about music, psychology, learning languages (I just dream big, too undisciplined to makes any actual progress) and literature. I am overall just a curious person who is interested in all kinds of things, as long as they suit my taste.
I always wanted to be a writer (and also a teacher)..But I don't think I have the skills required...this blog is just my attempt at becoming the writer I always wanted to be...Blogging for few years, I have realized I am more of a poet (although, I am not sure that I am good enough for that label)...I hope I realize more about myself through writing.
Thanks for dropping by!! Hope I didn't disappoint. :)

The whole thing is excellent, especially “Or admiration true or false
that could put to sleep the complexes I have.
Or to be touched in ways
