The Hard Way

Wandering in the by lanes of long forgotten memories

That one face comes back to haunt me yet again

Those piecing bright raven eyes

The sensuous lips, that sweet dimple

And all the other small nuances that probably only I noticed.

How carefree were those days,

Basking in the golden sunshine

Sitting on that special spot 

Waiting…

For just one glimpse pf him

If he would happen to go by.

Our eyes would meet, sparks would fly

But alas, none would talk to the other

Probably too shy,

Or maybe content to let things be as they were.

We both lived in our different worlds

Yet sometimes were, so strangely together.

For that one fleeting moment,

We were the only ones for each other.

Nothing else seemed to exist

No one seemed important anymore…

But like most things end up

Our sweet story too, had no fate

Nothing that could possibly happen,

No future to collate.

Just another ‘nice’ thing 

That happens to most of us one time or the other…

But don’t let every other ‘sweet’ thing just let go

Catch on and keep reeling till you’ve caught it.

It’s these small pleasures

That ultimately make life livable,

So be happy, and enjoy every small moment.

I have learnt my lesson now

And look for that someone special

To whom I’d say those three magical words…
