When love ends, what remains of the one who keeps remembering?
Letters to Eleanor traces the slow unraveling of a man who loves beyond return - from the first fragile confession to the last quiet surrender. Through a series of unsent letters, he writes to the woman who once promised forever and left him with silence instead.
What begins in tenderness becomes devotion, then longing, and finally, a kind of grace.
The letters chart the anatomy of heartbreak - not in grand gestures, but in the quiet persistence of hope, in the ache of memory, and in the beauty of loving even after love is gone.
Years later, the letters are found, tied with a faded ribbon, untouched.
No one remembers who Eleanor was.
But on the yellowed paper, love still breathes - gentle, weary, and unwilling to die completely.

Ink Me In Ghost Words
I never meant to keep the letters. I only wrote them to spill the words I couldn't say aloud to bleed the truth onto paper, seal it, and let time quietly carry it away. But time didn't take them. You stayed etched in every unsent line, every silence I tried to write through. This isn't a love story, It's the aftermath of love when it fades without noise, when hearts break quietly, and memories linger in ink that never dries. He was the goodbye I never spoke, and I was the story he never finished reading. So for every draft left unopened, for every feeling buried deep, and every love that never found its ending will you ever return to me, or will I keep writing letters while you continue to ink me in ghost words?Complete
What Will The End Cost Us?
Feeling attracted, falling in love and having a heart break. This cycle is a part of human life. So does a writer's. But when a writer falls in love and gets a heart broken, its just not a cycle that remains. It creates an art. Which will last longer than humans, longer than their own beloved. So, this is also few art peices, that will be presented in a weaved story of my (author's) journey of getting attracted, falling in love and then a final heart break in form of shayaris (rhyms) and poems.
After Hello
A companion to "Before Goodbye" He loved her before hello. He's been her constant-her safe place, her silent anchor, the one who never left. For years, he loved her quietly, waiting behind every heartbreak she ran from and every almost-love she clung to. She never saw it. Or maybe she did... but not the way he hoped. And still, he waited-through every tear she cried on his shoulder, through every letter she wrote that wasn't for him. But time doesn't wait forever. And love, no matter how deep, can only stay silent for so long before it begins to fade. Told from the perspective of the boy who loved her first, After Hello is a raw and aching parallel to Before Goodbye-a story of unspoken love, letting go, and learning to choose yourself... even when your heart still whispers someone else's name.Complete

One Thousand Tears
I've tried to release this pain in so many different ways; But writing about you seems to be one of my faves. I don't understand how I find closure When I know it only lasts until the poem is over. Somehow it feels like some sort of imaginary relief to my reality. As if, the pain I feel only exists until the words are free. I know how crazy it may seem Because the heartbreak will always be there; And I will never un-feel what you've done to me.Complete
WHEN FATE MEETS DESTINY
She used to be the girl who feared no one - the one who spoke first, loved openly, and never apologised for it. Until one night destroyed everything. The world that once welcomed her suddenly judged her, and she learned the hardest lesson of all - loving honestly doesn't always mean being loved back kindly. Years later, Adira lives quietly, far from the girl she used to be. She runs a small café, keeps her distance from people, and trusts no one. Then he walks in. Kabir - the man she once loved... now holding the hand of a two-year-old boy. And the child looks at her like she already belongs in his world. Old wounds reopen. Unspoken truths resurface. And the past refuses to stay buried. Sometimes fate and destiny meet in the most unexpected ways - and second chances come when you least expect them.
Gone Him Waiting Her
She was his first love. The girl who knew his laughter, his dreams, his fears. The one he swore he'd never let go of. Until one day, he did. Without warning. Without goodbye. He was her everything. Her first kiss. Her first heartbreak. The boy who carried her heart in his hands- and then shattered it when he disappeared. Years passed. Wounds turned into scars. She learned to live with the silence he left behind. He learned to live with the regret of leaving her. Now, fate has thrown Mason and Ella together again- in the most unexpected place, on the most ordinary day. But nothing about seeing each other feels ordinary. It feels like the past rushing back. It feels like the pieces of a love story trying to fit again. But can she trust him after the way he left? And can he prove that this time, he's here to stay? Because sometimes love doesn't end. Sometimes, it waits.
To You, Whom I Loved Before
Up until this very moment, no one has been able to fill the empty space you left behind in my heart. The void you created remains untouched, a constant reminder of the love and connection that once was.Complete
