An Old Letter

An Old Letter

2 mins
198


One day suddenly, the door of the memories opened,

I found an old letter,

Yes! another letter, which I had no idea when did I write

But, the words were enough to remind me,

Remind, the long-forgotten story, 

The story of us.

A swarm of bees hovered inside my mind, 

I wondered how happy I used to be even on the tiniest clue from your side.

Your voice was enough to chase my blues away and bring my happiest smile, 

Crap! Something I still pine.

Home used to be my happy place until one day you cracked the window of my heart, 

By all means, you got yourself registered there permanently, like a home away from home, happily. 


Oh yes! That's true, I still keep turning and returning to that secret place inside.

Years later now, when the box of memories opened, 

A storm of nostalgia hit my face hard and took my breath away,

Flabbergasted, I stood there thinking of the times we couldn't stop thinking about each other, 

And Laughing at the times, we don't think about each other a bit! 

I pondered how life reveals everything:

Every promise is a myth; every word turns until,

Oh! Time, the time my dear friend, heals everything is just a little white lie,

It might heal, but the scars that it leaves is a fact unscrutinized.

I sat down there on the bed, in front of the mirror, 

I had no other option but to smile and cheer, 

The swarm of bees disappeared, 

The story of us no more belongs to us,

It's just there inside my head. 

So, I found an old letter, 

But, I tore it in fear,

The fear of not finding it again,

And I sat there in a smile with tears.
