Notion Press Five Years Of Us (English, Paperback, Rahul Sarkar)

Five Years of Us: A LOVE I Let Go-a 22-year-old poet's bleeding-heart memoir, spilling the five-year romance he walked away from. It starts with that random DM lighting up his phone, pulling him into hugs that felt like coming home, Puja nights in matching reds where the world faded to just her laugh, her hand tracing futures on his palm. Those early days? Pure ache of joy-late-night calls till voices cracked, her jasmine scent clinging to hoodies he'd sniff in the dark, promises whispered on rattling train berths where bodies fit like missing pieces.But cracks crept in slow, human-messy. Text fights twisting words into weapons, friends' whispers turning "I love you" into doubts, 3 a.m. screams of "choose me or your dreams." Her dance rejections mirrored his sports grinds, distance turning love into debt. The end? A hung-up call that caved his chest-five years gone, leaving him staring at half-empty beds that remembered her curve better than he did.Poetry weaves through the raw narrative: innocent sparks exploding into spiderweb fractures, void nights where ghosts kicked down doors, faint kintsugi gold flickering in the ruins. No polished heroes here-just a Darjeeling boy with knee-twinged scars, learning too late that you can love, forgive, but not live in cycles. If you've ever blocked the one who made you whole, felt your favorite self shatter in the silence, this is your raw mirror. Real tears, real release, no happy endings-just the beautiful truth of letting go.
