Past Poem Archives: Part-3

A simple smile was all that was needed,

to clear my confounded mind and make me see through.

Even your passing glances, I took as deep stares,

and branded your name on my heart.

Those silly quarrels we had, I remember,

and the long chats following each of 'em.

Wise words that you shared, I think,

made me find my true self.

Even errors you made, I loved,

I laugh thinking every now and then.

I appreciated the attention you gave me in a crowd,

I took our bond for granted, I am sure.

You had a mysterious aura around you, I guess,

that floors anyone who meets you.

Doused in that glorious feeling I revelled,

weaving the best of my memories.

With time then came the day we parted,

when destiny showed each our paths.

I knelt and weft at the thought of leaving you,

swear I never thought I can make it through.

It took me two years to gather back,

those shattered pieces of my heart.

Like magic then you came back,

To rekindle what I thought was lost.

Being stupid, my heart fell for you all over again,

this time leaping in joy, yet with caution.

In a dreamy haze I lived temporarily,

reliving those lost memories.

Let those regurgitating feelings flow out,

forgetting all self-restraint.

The past dint matter much, and neither did future,

I had you by my side and that was all.

There were no sparks, I knew,

I was no fool to imagine them.

I knew this would end one day,

though couldn't tell that to my heart.

Today, I know its over for sure,

And this time there is no return.

My heart might continue to be stupid,

but I'll make sure my mind moves through.

I have no tears left for you now,

and no grief either.

The dull monotony of time,

with its apathy will take over I guess.

Nudging me gently to inch forward,

from this past to my future.
