With and Without You

The  memories of that night are still  safe and sound in my heart.
Every second passing by  was tearing me apart.
There was silence in the room, as our hearts did  the talking,
we were trying to steal glances as our souls were shamelessly gawking.

As you bent to pick my scarf our hands slightly brushed,
something deep in my heart was again disturbed.
You smiled to ease the situation,
how could you smirk when I was full of frustration.
It was the longest night of my life,
every passing second pierced my heart like a sharp knife.
I wanted to hold you so desperately,
how could you just sit there and look so lovely.

As you got up, my heart skipped a beat,
how could you leave when you were the one who made me complete.
Your dreamy eyes became wet,
I recalled the day when we first met.

I tried to search something in your eyes,
I got lost in the sea of truth and lies.
Our love was eternal,
how and when did it become so infernal?
You uttered just one word that night,
All  my dreams got shattered as you slowly went away out of sight.

The cruelty of fate, nothing can be worse than losing someone you once were sure belongs with you and the separation always ask many unanswered questions, something we carry in our heart for as long as we live, many congratulations on your win in my contest, good luck and have a really nice day
