“JAMIE'S SONG 'ZERO GRAVITY':

Sometimes I feel like I’m losing my mind.
I can’t fight, I can’t hide, and I can’t tell the time.
I walk and I talk and I scream and I cry,
I pull at my hair and I crawl up to die.

When you’re not around,
It feels like there’s nothing holding me to the ground.
Suspended in no air with no light and no sound.
Floating and drifting, up and around.
I can’t move, I can’t breathe, I can’t hear, I can’t see.
Stuck on a planet with zero gravity.”
― Neha Yazmin, Someone Like You

“JAMIE'S SONG 'SLIPPING':

I feel as though I’m slipping out of mind,
You’re slipping out of my life.
I feel as though we’re slipping out of time,
I’m slipping out of your mind.
And even though we’ve drifted far apart,
You’re still inside my heart.
But I know that you’re at the very end,
While I’m still at the start.

I walk down familiar streets, but they change,
With every step I take.
I don’t know what to say,
And then I lose my way.
I see the faces of people I should know,
And they look at me as though,
I saw them yesterday.
But I don’t recall a thing.

And it feels as though I’m slipping out of mind,
You’re slipping out of my life.
I feel as though we’re slipping out of time,
I’m slipping out of your mind.
And even though we’ve drifted far apart,
You’re still inside my heart.
But I know that you’re at the very end,
While I’m still at the start.

I wonder if I’m losing my mind,
And maybe that’s why,
You’re not by my side.
I don’t know if I should still try.
And maybe somehow,
We’ll work it out.”
― Neha Yazmin, Someone Like You

“JAMIE'S SONG 'Million Years/Billion Deaths':

Every beat of my heart says,
‘Who’d wanna be a heart?’
Every cell in my body,
Wants to split apart.

Though I know I have to be strong.
And I’m sure I won’t have to wait long.

But when each day lasts forever,
And when every night lasts much longer,
Tell me how am I supposed to go on?

But if each moment with you,
Lasts as long as these lonely nights do,
Then I’d wait a million years for you.
Yes, I’ll wait a million years for you.
And I’ll die a billion deaths to get to you.
To get to you…

Every breath I take whispers,
‘Who’d wanna be in love?’
Every vein in my body,
Has bled dry, my love.

Though I know I have to be strong.
And I’m sure I won’t have to wait long.

But when each day lasts forever,
And when every night lasts much longer,
Tell me how am I supposed to go on?

But if each moment with you,
Lasts as long as these lonely nights do,
Then I’d wait a million years for you.
Yes, I’ll wait a million years for you.
And I’ll die a billion deaths to get to you.
To get to you…”
― Neha Yazmin, Someone Like You

“JAMIE'S SONG 'WHERE YOU ARE':

I left my heart at your door,
Don’t tread on it on your way out.
It’s convulsing on the floor,
Can’t you hear it scream and shout?

I dropped my life by your feet,
Don’t kick it as you walk down the street.
I put my dreams in your hand,
Don’t let them slip through your fingers like grains of sand.

And my eyes will watch you from afar,
Guide you like a shooting star.

And you’ll see that I’ll always be where you are.
Where you are.
Yes, you know that I’ll always be where you are.

Yes my eyes will watch you from afar,
Guide you like a shooting star.
And you’ll see that I’ll always be where you are.
Where you are.”
― Neha Yazmin, Someone Like You

“To be with a woman who wasn’t Mukti, to spend his life with someone else… he couldn’t picture it. She was his whole life, his soul and spirit. She made the world go round. Nothing would make sense without her.”

“Maggie would want more from every guy she dated, every relationship she had, because she was using Jamie and Mukti’s love story as a template. And she’d always be disappointed. Neither love nor life is like a fairytale…”
― Neha Yazmin, Someone Like You

“Relationships take time and effort; they’re not always like the fairytale they start off as. Finding your soul mate isn’t the hard part; staying together is.”
― Neha Yazmin, Someone Like You
