Amandeep's poetry stays with you like a memory you cannot name.' – DIVYA PRAKASH DUBEY, author of Musafir Café and October Junction

chaar din ki Zindagi

usmein bhi ishq na karein

to kya karein?

(Life is but a handful of fleeting days. If we cannot love in them, what else is there to do?)

In Mere Khayal Tumse Nahi Milte, Amandeep Singh explores the tender and messy business of love in the modern world. This contemporary poetry collection moves through heartbreak, self-discovery and everything we feel but don't always say.

These are poems for the almost-lovers, the tired overthinkers, the ones who write paragraphs on Notes app and never send them, and for anyone who has ever wondered, 'Should I text first?’ In this strange age of situationships, breadcrumbing and other unfortunate ‘―ships' and ‘―ings’, Amandeep writes about feelings that endure when the labels fall away. What does it mean to love someone? What do we owe each other in love? And, perhaps most importantly, what does being in love reveals about us.

Playful and reflective, Mere Khayal Tumse Nahi Milte is about the big heartbreaks and the little aches in romance. It is about loving, losing and finding your way back to yourself.

For anyone who has felt deeply, loved recklessly, loved almost, or is still hoping to be loved, these poems are for you.
