Loving you in this city has been...
like trying to hold sand
in my fingernails
while flying a kite
like using my left hand
to brush my teeth
with Meswak
like cooking Top Ramen
in a pressure cooker
like sleeping
with the air conditioner blasting on my chest
as it lays bare under a coat of Vix
like smoking a Navy Cut in a smoggy Delhi
while trying to cross the road under Chirag Dilli Flyover
And now that I am here,
and you are there...
We can fall in love again.
