♡ Togetherness ♡

What is a dream without a sight…?

Where would the moon go leaving the night…?

Can fragrance live without a breath…?

But no one knows where they met.

You know how close secrets are to your heart…

And how well hooked is loneliness to a thought…

Stay together, the waves and the sea...

Who can try setting them free…?

Raindrops and the clouds, the lips and a melody,

They are destined to separate, how close they may be.

If they won’t got detached; for an instance,

Do you think we would've felt their magical existence…?

They belong to each other, wherever they go,

Their bond is eternal, but should they bother to show…?

So, keeping hand in hand, may let you be mine…

But ‘togetherness’ is what the nature defined.

You’re forever staying by my side…

Never realized… our moving apart in life, would ever matter, as it is doing…

We promised… our staying distant won’t change even a single thing…

Yes, YOU convinced me to move to the better world that waited,

But I noticed your face that moment, your genuine smile faded.

That day, you sounded so sensible and I was too, not bad at all;

I remember that departure lounge, and our very last phone call.

I could see you through the glass, with your eyelashes wet.

You being few minutes before… we could have met.

I said, ‘Hey! We’ll meet; I'm coming back soon’.

Of course I knew, we have to wait for that blue moon.

“I'm gonna miss you”, I wanted to say; but as strong as possible I had to stay.

So looked at you and passed a smile; and boarded the flight for some thousand miles.

See, undeniably alone, here I am, living up everything the way we planned,

But have to share a lesson I got – ‘if you do, it’s damned; if you don’t, it’s damned’.

Why all strategies seem to be shaken?

There was something which was critically mistaken.

Oh! I got it. Our silly brain abandoned us.

While we planned, it worked; now, watching the heart work.

Yeah… we met to get apart; my every ‘bye’ was a new start,

Start of a journey I always knew, may be from no-where but will end at you.

Be it a misty hill, or a lonely seashore...

You are forever staying by my side and I'm always yours.

PS – Nope... I'm not okay with it, but I won’t cry about it either. Won’t ever make you feel that ‘I do miss you’.

You know well, that this could have gone a completely different way.

Understanding you...

Every time you treated good, and sometimes when I was left in woods,

When there were numerous things to smile upon and times when moan made them gone,

With each step along, I thought, it was about understanding you…

I consider the days when you were so nice, and so the days when I paid the price,

Yeah... the days you were untainted like dew, and I won’t overlook the ones you cherished to skew,

With every passing day, I thought, it was about understanding you…

I remember your ‘baby-sitting’, and of course that reckless notion of 'quitting',

Your 'being there' and your 'leaving'; your touch that made the survival fulfilling,

With each breath passing through, I thought, it was about understanding you…

You created me, you crushed; saw me falling and you rushed,

Yes I’ll mention, you made me dream; but I didn't find you the night, a nightmare made me scream,

With every moment I was in, I thought, it was about understanding you…

You lent a hand, you ditched; you praised and you bitched,

You cared, you scared; you slapped and you kissed,

With entire emotions running through, I still thought, it was about understanding you…

Last night I slept on the matter that, ‘Now… how much I understand you?’

Huh... the night passed over, and the morning declared… ‘You’re still so very new...’

And finally, I chose… I’ll take you as you come… Come on…!!

Oh! LIFE, you have hell lot of masks in your bag, which are still to be put on…

With all I had of you, I decide, now I don’t care about understanding you.
