Remembering you

When I look back and think of you,

I remember-
The innocence of two children sharing an ice-cream,
The cuteness of two buddies dancing in the rain,
The togetherness of two blossoming personalities,
The maturity of two grown ups sharing their sorrows.

I remember-
Watching the setting sun late one evening with you,
Seeing you cry when I was hurt,
Cycling down the lanes madly ringing the bells,
Wishing by the ‘wishing well’, that we’d never part ways.

I remember-
The train crawling into the station and halt,
All your bags packed, your house vacated,
Our hearts as heavy as your bags,
Wishing time would freeze.

I remember-
The long calls that kept me going,
The letters that kept on pouring-
Gave me a reason to smile,
A reason to survive…

I remember-
That cold winter morning…
I got a mail saying you’d died-
That was when I almost died myself!
That winter of 1998 was really bitter.

I remember-
Your daughter stayed with me for a while,
She seemed to have lost her world,
All she kept saying was ‘Mamma’… and
Al I could do was give her a warm hug.

Today, as I sit by the window,
Watching the setting sun,
I miss you... like I’ve always missed you.
The best thing to do in the world is to
Simply REMEMBER YOU!
