जाने कहाँ गए वो दिन : Before Time Knew Our Names

(The Love That Always Was)

Before I met you —

I missed you.

In a thousand lifetimes

I couldn’t name,

I longed for a face

I had never seen,

and a voice

I somehow remembered.

My soul carried your absence

like a soft ache —

not painful,

just… unfinished.

I wandered through days

with a hollow I couldn’t define,

as if my laughter

was waiting

for someone else's echo.

And then,

in a life written in stars,

you arrived —

not like lightning,

but like memory.

Not a beginning —

a return.

As if we’d left a story mid-sentence

in another world,

and the universe

finally handed us back the pen.

I didn’t fall in love with you.

I remembered

that I already had.

You are not the chapter after the beginning.

You are the reason there was ever a story at all.
