Wish you come by

Flurrying curtains, moist breeze

Half lit room, messed bed sheet

Scented candle about to breathe last

Two half empty red wine glasses

And a half empty bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon

I look at them and gasp

Let me say – they all miss you…

Okay, I shed my male ego…

I miss you and they miss you two.

 

People say, they just move on…

Is it true?

I tried and dreamt of you

You were fading away

Vanishing…

Away from me

I pressed delete and you ended up in trash

I felt bad, wept

How can the best days of my life

End up in trash…

I restored

And you were back smiling all over my mind.

 

Again people pressurized and asked

“Give a new lease to life”

And I mustered courage

Looked for Alt, Ctrl & Delete

And pressed it hard

Once, twice, thrice…tenth time

You popped and appeared

Like those virus affected files

You looked Brighter and better…

And I gave up…

 

I stored you in a memory card

And let the brain go light years away.

My heart now operates this chip

Chip is there but I miss you

It’s been a year you left forever

Wine, candle, bed, breeze all are missing you.

And I am not ashamed of admitting, I miss you too…

Move On

Move on…

It’s easy for you to say that baby

But for sure I know

You gonna cry a lot

As you bang door on me. 

 

I wish I could wipe

Or just delete

The happy days we spent

But the fact is that they were not some dreams

They were all so damn real.

 

I wish you could just

See or feel else hear my thoughts

As I have lost the strength to mouth my words.

Wish you could just unclog your heart

And let the passions flow as it used to be. 

 

Wish, I was a robot

Move on, I could have said

And walked out of your life.

But things aren’t so simple…I will walk off with my body

But how will I damn tame the soul?

 

Those days, those nights, mornings and twilight

Crush, love and chiding fights

one bear hug and then smothering kiss

How can I give that warmth, that look amiss

Those treasures would be stored forever until you claim and collect. 

 

The truth is, time will pause for us but yeah life will move on.

We can’t take out each other from us

As we have grown together for long…

For our best as you say, let’s ‘move on’…

I suggest, we better ‘rest on’ until you come back to me.
