A Story It May Seem...

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.
