No One Is You

I endure the pang of solitude...the sigh of a forlorn love Time is no healer, every sand of time brings in moments I hasten to go- halves with none but You, My confidant, my best soul mate To lose the man I had relied on for so long Is utterly devastating... Never was life bed of roses, But all that mattered when you were around Only you can understand the depths of my pain Only you can feel my deafening silent tears People say you left in a hurry... so untrue...! You're right here in full flesh and blood as me. You made me strong and I will move on as you See the care, courage and peace in my eyes That bejewelled in you... oh yes, You had all the time in the world to transform me into you You did leave without a hint, but you were not in a hurry The credence gets stronger in my heart, As I gaze into the eyes of our progeny... yes, They look at me the way I used to look at you Eyes crammed with dream, faith and selfless love My heart skips some beats that moment To stand stronger than we had begun. Ultimately, I discern that, it is not you who is lost! You're right here in full flesh and blood as me. It's me who is mislaid, lost in search of the refuge called you When you've sapped all my tears and heart sunk in mourning I realize... You're right here in full flesh and blood as me I don't need me... I have your job to do They're your legacy and I will bring them up as best I can As a leopardess can't change her spots... so as I remain who I am! And you are the Apple of my eye forever! Whatever I am today has come from you... I am told, the pain will ease in time... Time is no healer but I have learnt running along with time! As of me, my lonely love shall find its way to you !!!
