1st of September That’s how he remembers The date they met How could he forget? Her eyes Twinkle until they dry This is the tale of Kamal & Sai A house with a slanted roof A sparse hall with a couch for two & a TV to watch movies curled, instead of the bedroom She tells him she wants two He says “c’mon silly; Why’d I want to sleep away from you?” And so they’d speak In the hours past night Past the hours of the moon’s light About the perfect house How they’d divide the chores On who’s allowed to wash the blouse Or how they’d decorate the doors It’d be perfect, they’d say A home away from home for everyday

And so they lived there Not in person, but when stuck in traffic Or brushing hairs A home away from home in their minds One where the world was a little more kind; This was Kamal & Sai And so the weeks turned away It was fine, but it wasn’t the same everyday She got busy often, and so did he Dates turned to weeks of nonchalant meals They say that time heals But it didn’t know what was wrong This was love, was it not? “I need some time alone” “But we barely talk these days…” Even for the best, the excitement runs dry Even if they were Kamal & Sai

And so the weeks turned to months Sentences to words The good mornings turned to obligation As the world found its way to take root “How can you say that?!” “Fuck you” “Are you coming over soon?” “No, I have to clear my dues” They visited the house less & less In their imagination The table for coffee now held dust The taps began to rust As their world fell apart Till one day, it had to die; This was the end of Kamal & Sai.
