You & I

The time I saw you first,

Was a crowded metro birth.

You had your bag in your hand,

Holding your phone, on another hand 

You were searching for a seat 

As I stood up to offer you a seat 

You looked me down with a smile 

That skipped my heart for a mile 

The time came we de-boarded the train 

Luckily on the same station that had a quirky name,

The thought of initiating a talk,

Take you down on a walk.

Ahh, but what will you think,

This stupid man asked me out in a blink.

Ahh! finally the day just come with all the courage I asked your name,

Name to date, date to walk, 

Which I thought back long, finally we had a talk.

You & I were the happy souls

Together we shared a strong bond.

Dreaming about the life with you 

Ready to meet the family of two.

Different religions and cultures we had 

Punjabis and Bengalis were never a match

That’s what our parents told 

But together we had a stronghold.

Time just came, colleges got over,

You shifted to the north and so me to west 

Hoping this distance will bring the best

I still remember the promise you made,

We will never be afraid will be standing together strong,

Let this universe sing our song

Alas! The universe had different plans 

The strong winds ruptured the clan 

The same wind just blew you away

My bad but your memories stay.

Hoping that you are in a better place 

Your bright eyes of you that always glaze

All my friends come and say

Move on mate gone are the past days 

How do I move on? I still remember 

The time I saw you first

On a crowded metro birth 

You had your bag in your hand 

Holding your phone in another hand

Hoping someday the fairy swirls her magic wand 

Take your memories away, always as they still withstand.
