Conversations I Never Had

It begins with silence.
With messages never sent, calls never made, words that stayed stuck inside.
This book was born from the weight of everything I couldn't say - to the people I once loved, the moments I never voiced, and the versions of myself I quietly outgrew.

Conversations I Never Had is a collection of poems written through the lens of memory, longing, and eventual healing. It traces the emotional landscape of holding onto someone who let go, and then learning to release them - or welcome them back - when life unexpectedly changes.

The first half of this book is heavy with loss, unanswered questions, and aching pauses. But somewhere between the pages, the tone begins to shift. The person returns. The silence breaks. And the heart, once fractured, learns to trust the light again.

As a B.Tech student and someone who writes to process the world around me, these poems became my quiet rebellion - against numbness, against forgetting, and against pretending I didn't care. They are, in a way, the conversations I never had... but always needed.

If you've ever been left on read by life or love, this book is for you.
And if you're holding out hope that some stories do come back around - this book is especially for you.
