In this space, I write not to explain life, but to explore it. Pause with me, linger between the lines, and perhaps you’ll discover a piece of your own story here too. 🙂
Life is crazy, you’ve gone too far
My efforts are failing, in catching at par
What fears me, is that I am giving up
In even efforts, to keep my spirits up
No one knows, where this is going to take us
Can only pray to HIM, to always bless us
Till then let’s catch hold of each other
‘Coz this my dear, is really rough weather!
Neither are you mine nor ever will be
Still heart calls out for you and eyes want to see
Your face, and I just want to hear once again
Your soothing voice my dear without any strain!
I miss our endless conversations from morning till night
Our sharing with each other all talks however slight
Our saying everything though words we use didn’t
Our waiting for each other to understand the hints!
Feeling proximity, from a distance quite a lot
Feeling one with you, though close you were not
Waiting for your messages with childlike impatience
Smiling all along while reading them with just no pretence!
Dreams were seen though hardly ever shared
Longings were there to meet and express
Those around, also knew what we had in mind
But it was unspoken between us, something left to find.
Your letters and mails and messages were craved
Your words still, are deep in heart saved
Words that we used for each other while we spoke
Are all still held dearly, however hearts broke
When before we could meet we were made to part ways
The story which hardly began now shattered lay
There are words unsaid and questions unanswered
Wish we can meet someday and confirm what we read.
Why didn’t you speak aloud, why didn’t you hold my hand?
Why didn’t you hold me tight when I dared to tread a new land?
Why did you let me go so easily and without any fight?
How could you accept the fact that I won’t be in sight?
I know there weren’t any promises and I’m not holding you wrong
We never told each other that our melody was a love song
But we both know that it was much more than we shared
Like none will ever, about me you cared.
What pains me is why now we can’t be in touch?
Why even our sacred friendship is looked upon with distrust?
Don’t you ever miss me, or again just choose to hide?
Heart pains, when I think of the rough tide
Which took me away from you and you did nothing to stop me
Oh why you didn’t show courage and tried to make me see
True feelings which you had or the future which could be
I miss you so much and – my Friend – you will fondly always be!
