A story may
it seem
An
interesting plot or a colourful theme
The tale of
you and I
From the
first 'hi' to the final goodbye.
Well, I
hardly talk about you these days
I'm in a new
city, a new place, a new address
They hardly
know me, the people
We don’t
talk personal, on or off the table.
So, I am
almost alone here, except for a few known faces
Sometimes I
run into them…and so into your traces
We spend a
weekend together once in a while; after all they are old friends,
A long
drive, a light drink and then singing loudly for some time.
I sleep with
my guitar by my side,
Sometimes I
take her for a ride,
She is like
you, sounds beautiful, looks stunning
And I fight
with her too, while playing something meaningful and interesting.
But I end up
writing something new after every meeting with her,
Just like
the old times, when I used to write for you while waiting in the car
Nothing has
changed, earlier I had a world of words that revolved around you
Today I
fight a war of the words, God damn words, they still revolve around you.
Here I am
again, caught between your thoughts this night
The world is
buzzing outside, celebrating the festival of lights
Colours,
crackers, sweets & smiles...they share
I have old
stickers, letters, feelings....and my tears.
I remember
the walk we used to take,
On this
night of celebration, by the central lake
Holding
hands, making amends
Used to
laugh at how quickly we had become much more than just friends.
Damn, that
night was sweet, this could have been,
Now I
realize, it's been years that I haven't seen
You, the
lake, the lanes, the old street lights,
You remember
the park nearby? Where we had our last fight?
It's
midnight, Man I gotta stop somewhere…I'm high !
I look up to
find the distance between the two glowing stars in this October sky
It’s funny
right? When you know you can’t know that…
But you
still try.
And all I
find in serendipity
…is the tale
of you and..........I
From the
first 'hi' to the final goodbye.
