under glass towers and sudden rain in bangalore

he tries to code love while she tries to match lovers
they meet between coffee stains and traffic lights,
arguing like they’ve known each other for years
his world is clean, precise and empty
hers is messy, human and breaking
once they slip into each other everything else begins to collapse
the app works
the matches look perfect
but nothing about it feels right
because loving each other means unlearning everything
so they stop
he keeps building
she keeps pairing strangers
and somewhere in the same city,
two people who almost made sense
never try again
