If I am the Earth

 I wasn’t joking when I said he’s my Sun.

He’s the Sun that never sets when I need him.

I don’t care if I burn myself for choosing him

because he’s already proven he’s worth every flame.


There were other lights… the pale Moon, the glittering stars…

but none of them ever felt like home the way my Sun does.


If I am the Earth,

then my orbit is already decided

I will always circle back to him

Because he, He is sweeter than the sweetest honey, Calmer than the calmest sea....

Always in his kache panje , crisp and clean, You were so strong, Ajja—witness to a world That spanned from the dawn of independence To this age of AI, and yet you never needed glasses, Still walking with purpose even in your ripe years. The way you loved your wife—how I dreamed Of a love like that, of living a life as full as yours. But today, a heavy monsoon morning, The rain outside matched the misery in my heart, And I never imagined that grief would flood my soul like this.

Will you ever forgive me, Ajja, For not being there, for not s...
