Never Been Loved (12.22.24 - Day 5)

your words drip like honey

and seep through

the cracks in my heart,

and you

make it sunny;

the dark clouds depart

for our forever to start

but hit the brakes,

my mind warns

you’ve jumped in lakes,

and landed in thorns;

always burnt

never learnt

full of love

never loved;

this is too new

but you’re so you

making this feel right,

igniting my light,

opening up a door

for my caged heart to soar

i’d swim the depths of you

knowing i could drown

‘cause if this love is true,

together, we’ll pull through

every up and every down;

foolish girl, my mind chides,

it hides

behind a curse

but the heart copes

with unending hope;

it would be worse

to stop giving love a chance;

i want to dance

with somebody,

my someone,

to hold each other in mind, body, and soul,

when the days are warm

and the nights are cold,

your love adorns

my life, so full

we’ll feel the pull

of blooming roses,

love potion doses,

the seeds we’ll sow,

the magic we'll grow,

'cause we know

that across suns and moons and stars

we'll heal our wounds and scars

Our Secret World (1.6.2025 - Day 20)

Saumi: "I sent you more flowers to complete the garden."

Ridhima: "Tell me truthfully. Did you come out of a romantasy novel?"

Saumi: "I guess you are the protagonist who discovered my secret world."

Ridhima: "And in this world is a secret garden where only love blooms from the seeds you sow, and in that garden, is a secret pool where I discover the depths of you and sink deeper and deeper until I can’t breathe — only to be lifted out of the deep end by your love in the air, and together, we float away on Cloud Nine.”

Will You Be My Valentine? (2.14.25 - Day 59)

O Ridhima, of House Borooah, first of her name, weaver of words, poet of passion, consultant by trade, breaker of monotony, and queen of quirks!

You, whose laughter could even melt a dementor's cold heart, whose words glide like Nimbus 2000 and whose spirit is as untamed as a Hippogriff in flight!

You are the ruler of spontaneous adventures, bringer of boundless joy and wielder of a heart so pure, even a phoenix would bow before you!

On this day of love, under the gaze of the old gods and new, I kneel before you and ask,

"Will you be my Valentine?"

Sky Full Of Stars (5.14.25 - Day 148)

my heart was a starless night,

a hollowed-out crater

of the moon,

a black hole, devoid of light;

i looked up at my creator,

time and time again

asking for a boon —

please, please…redo my loveless prophecy

until finally, He saw me

until you, Saumi

dripped honeyed words

into my inky heart

and broke the curse

as your brilliant sun

illuminated my own

and i was undone

my heart, once dead and dark

burned crimson red and sparked

with starlight,

shining silver moonbeams

for you’re the man of my dreams

you saw me

and i am consumed by your cosmic love,

so with the universe as my witness

i confess

under the heavens above

you’re my sky full of stars

and i love, i love, i love you…

most ardently

Love Story (6.2.2025 - Day 167)

Bridge: ‘Cause you were worth the waiting

I don’t feel alone anymore

My love for you keeps blooming

You always make me feel so adored

Chorus: so thank you, Saumi

you are my gravity

my one true Valentine

I am yours and you are mine

Love is in the air and you don’t know what to think

As I kneel to the ground and pull out a ring and say

Marry me, Saumi

You will always have me

I love you and that’s how it’ll always be

You’ll be my prince and I’ll be your princess

It’s a love story, baby just say “Yes”

So marry me, Romeo

‘Cause you are my only home

You love me and that’s all you really know

We’re soulmates, a check in life’s game of chess

It’s a love story, baby just say “Yes”

Outro: Oh oh oh

oh oh oh

'Cause you are my own Prince Charming

Magic (7.20.2025 - Day 215)

i believe in magic;

always did,

lived loud, never hid,

even when, in the end,

sad beautiful tragic

ships sunk

into the inky depths of my soul,

i still believed —

but i’d never have thunk

what would unfold; my heart you stole —

i believed but could never imagine

you’d dive that deep

into me

knowing you could drown;

but you had no doubt

you knew you’d pull me out

with love abound;

you shone your light

to illuminate my sun

‘cause you are my one,

my everything bright;

and my heart, once dead and dark

burned crimson red and sparked

with starlight,

shining silver moonbeams

for you

are the stuff of dreams

i believed in magic

but i didn’t know magic was you

magic is you, magic is us

and it feels like…
