Every night after a long tiring or a lazy day,
When I curl up in bed, I miss you.
That’s the only time I allow myself to slow down, or gives a
minute to think
The only time I allow myself to be free from anything else.
Then and there at that moment,
When my brain and mind slows down,
You suddenly walk into my memory… slowly but surely
As if you were waiting for me to just look
And all of a sudden
I get this sudden unquenchable urge to talk to you
To share with you all my day’s happenings
To tell you this and that
Thou it’s just a never-going-to-happen wish,
I still hope for the same
Then there are days
I just want to have a glimpse of you
A second of your time to talk to you for one last time
But… If was given that chance
What is it I really want to say?
I miss you? I wish you were here?
Or I wish we hadn't met?
Or just stare at your face? …
I wonder…
I wonder… what is it I really want to say when I see you…?

P.S.
No! Not a poem… just a prose which was broken down to small fragments.

This was written for

ReplyDeleteThanks Shailaja. :)
DeleteYou've said quite a lot already :)
ReplyDeleteWhat more do you want to say :P
Lol! Now I seriously don't know what to say :D
DeleteLove how you did it..so many things to say but then sometimes it's so hard , isn't it?
ReplyDeleteSo damn hard!
DeleteThanks Naba for reading :)
sometimes it's the space between the thoughts that gives shape to the flow....that's why though not a poem, the fragments give the shape of a poem...Very lucid!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you. :)
DeleteAw, so deep and full of emotions.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's just amusing when you have a lot of things in your mind and when someone asks you what you're thinking you end up telling them "Nothing."
Mysterious.
So true....Nothing is my most commonly used word if someone asks me what's in my mind... :D
DeleteThank you for reading. :)
Hi; first time visiting your blog :) You are right in front of me on the A/Z challenge for 2015 so I thought I would check out your blog and get to know you before the challenge begins in April :) Enjoyed reading this; wondering if you wrote it for someone in your life or just words that were going through your head? Well done!

Thank you so much. It was so sweet of you to visit me here. :)
DeleteFor that question... I would a mix of both. :)
Aww loved this Sheetal. When your mind and heart are too full that's the probably the only time you have nothing to say.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. :)
DeleteYeah... there are times when even words fail us... but in a good way. :)
That's a beautiful piece. Loved the way you have captured the longing and the emotions!
ReplyDeleteThanks Shilpa. <3
