Rukhsat

Though the promises we made were so strong,

and they never wanted to say bye.
We chose not to choose them,

and I write this when you are there-living and I …

You, your breath, so beautiful, wish had stayed in my arms a bit more,

my fingers stretch but there are no dark strands flowing

I wish I dared to tuck them that night…

I could have told you that I love you,

wish there was a time when I was me, without fear of nothing

and now lips bumble, no ears waiting for these words now...

Those rain still come, and still I look above

they do make me heavy, what they say I am unable to make out

guess, there is something again which I broke...

I write your name on those pages

wish could have them dry and sweet.

These words do say something now,

I didn’t make friends with them back then, and they love me now!

Winter gives shivers to me and

it is no new for me now.

'twas silent with its eyes closed

and look now it stays in the bed, too!

I still have those dreams,

something is missing but can’t tell.

Dreams had someone like you.

You are far from me, you left tomorrow unlived

do the needful, bury them with me,

when I leave something called life!
