Lost In Thoughts
I wake up in the middle of night,
and lose myself in meandering thoughts,
I can not rest until I ponder about you,
At least for a few precious moments!
It becomes very dark, it becomes hauntingly lonely,
How fervently I wish I could bring back the few exhilarating days we had been together,
And all the torturous days we were apart -
When the summers emerged with gorgeous sun-smitten days,
And the winters arrived with frosty, bitter nights,
Year after year!
Did you cease dreaming about me?
You will protest here, and say - you never did!
In long intoxicating summer days, in ebullient, exuberant Spring evenings,
In heartless chilly wintry nights - I was with you.
You revealed to me, you were almost in a daze,
When one terribly showery day, with endless pouring rain,
You came, only to see me!
and I didn’t have the faintest idea!
If I could, I would take that day away from the history of mankind,
Because how shockingly cruel was I,
To be wrapped-up in my frivolous world, to be so blind!
Every time I remember those electrifying moments when both of us were in a trance,
I can’t believe I let it fade,
A love, untainted and flawless, marvellous and breathtaking,
Rarely experienced in one lifetime!
I wake up at middle of night,
And ponder about what could have been!
How my life and your life could have intertwined
In a perfect harmony!
