You and I
You and I met for the first time
At a period when all was sublime
Both of us enjoyed youth in full bloom
Unaware about the approach of gloom.
Initially our contacts were limited to friendship
Later they developed into a different relationship
Seeds of love paved their way in life
To make you become my wife
Attracted by your blue eyes and chiseled face
Our passion grew at a giant's pace
Unaware about the situation
Our parents were curious about our strong relation
For many years dating continued clandestinely
Until they consented officially
Marriage filled our home with happiness
Afterwards it was invaded by darkness.
With the accumulation of so many losses
All our dreams were shattered to pieces.
You had become a victim of destiny
Yes.... life was no longer shiny
Incurable disease forced you to fight against death
Till your very last breath
Bereaved of you, I am one of the few
To wonder who can replace you?
Will I achieve peace of mind?
When you have lagged behind
