You Left Without Telling...

Only if I knew you were leaving,
I would have followed you.
I might not have refrained you from going;
If you told me to.
I might have just walked along with you.
On the same road you were treading on;
Fought against all the complexities you were struggling with,
Made them a part of my life.
Only if you had taught me how to survive without you,
Not a single thought should cross my mind;
When the sky is pouring its heart out in a monsoon evening.
And when someone promises to hold hands forever:
The time of 'forever' is limited too.
All swears made in the name of love
Shouldn't be believed,
Even in the midst of tears, I'm punished
With the curse that I won't be ever able to get you back:
No matter, by whichever name and how much ever I called.
Only if I knew you were leaving,
I would have told you to show me the way
Not today, but someday in a new calendar:
I could reach you...
