"I really miss,
The old me,
The old you,
And the old us."

~Theme
Reminiscence of the old me, the old you and the old us.
~Description
Breaking us into nostalgia, reminisces us how magical the world was then than it is now.
Being written in a first person narrative, it compels us, the readers, to lament the 'Childish' and 'Ignorant' version of ourselves and also urges 'Time' to transfigure us back to what we were earlier.

You were my First Love; toxic, unhealthy for my state.
But i learned Love from you; you taught me what it meant to spend nights
crying at the edge of my bed and how it felt to really smile.
*************************
This is a collection of poetry for one series- love, pain, toxicity, heartbreak and memory. This is the first experience at love I had. I share with you my experiences, my thoughts, my recollections, my struggle and everything I felt. If you grew up having been deprived of love and then suddenly found yourself carrying what seems like the world's amount of love for someone else- I don't doubt you won't be able to relate, at one point in this poetry book you'll find yourself in me.
