Secluded

You always felt warm, your presence always illuminated my paths.

When you were there life seemed at a pace through the seasons were changing

You being a part of everything I did make me bounce with the purest joy

Would you have not been there, never would have I been able to find my true self!

Now as you walk ahead of me, not caring about the bodies walking along with you

You seem less distracted more lost.

Your hair still knows the scent of the air, the breeze is still gentle to your strands.

When you unknowingly tuck your hair behind your ear, your cheekbones reflects the same aura as it did a few years back.

Walking from home to the beach has always been your favorite part of the day

You hardly notice it now.

As you stand on the sand, waves washing your feet and going back; I only wish for you to look back, look at me.

I wish the waves could make you feel your lost soul, I miss the old you, Don’t you too?

I don’t know what has changed in the recent months, you look tired.

I hesitate to ask you, only if you could feel my silence; as I feel yours.

There are a bunch of phrases left unsaid, I don’t have enough courage to utter.

Then you turn all of a sudden, your face making my heart pound more and more.

I wait for you to say something, rather your eyes make a move and you start towards home.

Don’t you feel anything, Can’t you atleast try to understand how it feels to see you sad I wanted to say instead I nod and again I let you walk ahead of me.

I remember you had once asked me to stay by your side always I feel directionless now as you speed up, leaving me behind not letting me chase your steps even!
