Lover Quotes

“Read me like your favourite book, word for word. Sing me like your favourite song, beat for beat. Take a walk with me in your dreams, hand in hand. Chant me like a prayer, bead for bead. Hold me in your arms like I am magic, dark, cursed yet loveable. Love me the way no one has ever been loved before.”
― Sakshi Narula, Lover

“I didn't love like the women who swiped left and right from one heartbreak to another. I couldn't just trade some skin for scraps of attention from men who would never use a Swiss knife to declare their love for me, by scraping my initials on the bark of an old oak tree or promise me a forever with a lovelock on Ponte Des Arts. I needed a Romeo. I deserved a Shakespeare in love. I deserved a man who had birds flying out of his ribcage every time he saw me smile.”
― Sakshi Narula, Lover

“I wish I could live in a sentence, incarcerated for life among your words. I want to be that flower, that lost count of its breaths somewhere in a haiku or a sonnet, lifeless and wrecked, smeared in ink, in a dusty pile of books, swallowing sunshine by your window.”
― Sakshi Narula, Lover

“No one said my name quite like you I was thunder when I spilled out of your mouth.”

“Loneliness was an alchemist that turned me into gold. Men flock around me to claim a piece of my soul and place their ears on my chest to hear my heart beating slower than the hands of time. Yes, I let them but I so badly wish it was you. I am not easy to love, but then who really is? Treasures and gold I am, I am love and Petra and California too. I am a lottery ticket with the winning numbers, but this money is cursed When I stand in the sun, the reflection is you, you and all you.”
― Sakshi Narula, Lover

“There is a love poem in here somewhere, it still has baby teeth A precocious pearl in an unopened shell, adamant and stubborn that it wants to love you, so baby please let it! There is a love poem in here somewhere, and it burns like autumn. Dirt stained on the sidewalk, in a pile of deciduous leaves, at loggerheads with the wind that it wants to love you, so baby please…let it”
― Sakshi Narula, Lover

“You are scattered like autumn in my backyard”
― Sakshi Narula, Lover

“You my love became a burden to carry, like chewed gum hardened by saliva in my thirsty mouth and with no bins in sight. You are now stuck under the barstool that cradles me at a hundred year old bar for the heartbroken. I drink the night away but no one really knows now that I once loved you.”
― Sakshi Narula, Lover

“I have lost a million miles walking on words, just to find myself.”
― Sakshi Narula, Lover

“Of my many misdemeanors, standing tall like a radio tower and airing love songs has been the worst.”
― Sakshi Narula, Lover
