We build monuments out of people who barely notice our presence.

Drafts I Never Sent is a debut poetry collection by Omar Zahoor that explores the quiet, unglamorous reality of one-sided love. Stripping away the clichés of traditional romance, these poems are anchored in the raw, everyday weight of missed connections—from the heavy silence of a typing indicator that vanishes, to the hum of late-night train rides, to the quiet frustration of a dropped signal.

Honest, gritty, and deeply relatable, this collection captures the digital purgatory of the Notes app and the slow process of moving on. Written for anyone who has ever stared at a glowing monitor at 2:00 AM, holding down the backspace key instead of telling the truth, Drafts I Never Sent is a tribute to the words we leave sitting in the outbox.
