Longing

Lately I have been missing you a lot

ignoring the world I'm fixated on you, a tiny dot

"egoist, selfish and cold" everyone says

they don't understand my rough days

I've started to ignore the noises around, 

they don't bother me now even if it's profound

Lately I have been missing those dance steps

your smiling face as I did those one two three reps

I haven't danced for long after you've gone

I just tap my feet on beats when I'm alone

it's hard to dance having your memories with me

I've to dance with someone else to be actually free

Lately I have been irritated easily

irrespective of the issue being huge or measly

I think I've been losing myself again

wearing the smile hiding my actual pain

I've got used to being alone

by not being with someone, maybe I can atone
