Over the Last Ten Years and Countless


It is amazing how many

Goodbyes I have

Said to you.

In 2009
when we were 10 years apart and
Kolkata and Bombay were once
a year far away from
one another

In 2011, when you got off
the metro at chandni chowk and
I travelled
With you, even though I had to
Go to New Delhi station. You stared
at me in the metro
and texted later on drinking beer with A
“If only I had seen a little more of you.”

Through 2012-2014, blocking
You numerous times,
On Facebook, writing
Drunken texts to you and
Taking your
Inebriated phone calls
In the middle
Of the night.

2016, you looked at me for
one last time
As you drove away from
The airport. And
It will be years
Before the vision of yr eyes looking
At me gets blurred
From mine.

2018
Promise me you will
Let me say
Goodbye again.
