 Dipika is an amourist. Shakespeare inspired her to dive 
into the world of poetry. She dreams of travelling to Greece one day to physically
be in awe of the love myths she has only read about in books. Music plays an important

a novel about love inspired from her own experiences and hopes for it to have a 
happy ending.

_New Year, Same Feelings_

Once, I told you I loved you,
 As we were gazing at the NYE fireworks, You looked
stunned and chose not To speak to me for the rest of that night.

Tonight is NYE again, we are all anticipating
 The fireworks to start. My partner
is ready with his phone To take videos of the fireworks, Oblivious to the fireworks
Happening within me. Yours is drinking what she swore Was going to be her last drink,
Oblivious to the fact That you have remained sober Tonight of all nights.

When the fireworks started,
 All their eyes were fixated on the night sky, Ours 
were fixed on each other’s.

Someone then decided to play
 “Last Christmas” by George Michael So loud, and no
one found it weird. I guess when everyone was that drunk Anything goes.

We didn’t get a chance to speak
 To each other without our partners Attached to 
our sides. They feel threatened.

Although we assured them
 It’s all in the past now, They have reasons to believe
it’s not.

Honestly, if we were them?
 We’d be suspicious too.
