Changing Winds of Time

Back it was, days long ago, When every moment was shared, Decades far it seems from now, When by hurt, I’d be spared. The changing winds of time, Were so cold and annoyed, That by the time I could realize it, Everything was destroyed. To learn this new way of life was tough, Letting go was even tougher, In the blink of an eye, Everything had changed forever. I could have consoled myself, By saying, ‘it will be alright’, But I knew it was not that easy, I knew I had to fight. Challenges were many, But chances all too few, After the same life, for years, These consequences were too new. Days followed days, Waving years goodbye, Standing in the core of all of it, Yet I was amazed, asking ‘why?’ Music could still be heard, And people around still fought in vain, But I was missing everywhere, And I could never be the same again. Dark clouds covered me, And I had nowhere to go, Waited in this rain for days and weeks, As to when would the sun glow. Time preached me it was the one, Who changed relationships, Couldn’t have understood it better, Than facing all these hardships. I know it would never be the same again, Neither do I expect it to be, But I learnt from this episode, I was quenching thirst on a dry county.
