Something Which Is Immortal...

I cried till my tears dried,

The tears which, you were to wipe;

To close my eyes, you were, who haunted me,

With your smiles and contagious laugh;

I waited till the dawn arrived,

Embarking the start of a new beginning,

When I open my eyes from my rather deep slumber,

I find you standing there with open arms,

Waiting for me to embrace you;

But when I run towards you,

The silhouette of yours vanish in thin air,

as if it was never there.

I pick up on your clothes,

To sniff the faint lingering scent,

In which, for once I feel at home,

You were to return back,

Not to move away from me, us,

For you were- all I could see,

When I thought of my world...

The promises you gave me,

Of finding a way and staying here,

Where they all woven to falsify me,

I now regret not having paid heed,

To the wise words, the elderly said,

"To love is to pain, and to pain is to heal"

I do not regret the time with you, merrily spent,

As they were the most joyous of our- my life,

What I regret is, you were absent,

To embrace those heartfelt memories with me.
