Friends...

We meet a lot on the way

We lose another on the way

Some leave an impression

While others leave a depression

All that’s left are the memories,

of the times that we were together

That keeps us alive,

in this mad mad world

The memories of the lost ones

and the time spend with the new ones

Some are just friends

while some are friends forever...

Addiction

Too much for too long,

and you get addicted

Be it love or lust, it’s the same

Longer you have it in your system,

harder it is to live without it

His addiction was a bit different

No it was not love nor lust,

nor was it behavioural

It was pain, the unlikeliest of them all

It was the pain she gave him

To start it was once in a while

Then it was a part of his life

like every now and then

There came a day when he had to quit

He went as far as he could,

but no distance was a remedy.

He always got back for another dose

For he couldn’t live without it

For he was addicted

addicted to pain,

the unlikeliest of them all

Was it his love for her,

or was he plain addicted ?

These he never found an answer

not until now...

Apart

All these years together

and now apart

Both by distance

and by heart

The closer I got

the farther she ran

I ran along for some miles

but then said it’s enough

Now it’s my time to walk

We both had our reasons

We both clung on to it

Pretty strong as we always do,

but in the end for a change

we didn’t have each other to cling on to

She had her reasons to keep me away

None I felt was good enough

My regret is we never gave it a shot

Hope she won’t say the same someday down the line...

Hope she aint burying it coz of some fear...

First Love…V 1.2…

She was my dream

She was my aim

and one fine day

She was my own

In her I found love

In her I found bliss

In her I found peace

In her I found me

In a way unknown to me

So it was but obvious

I fell for her

I fell for her charms

into her wide open arms

I said

Never will I leave

Never will I loose

Forever you are mine

Or that’s what I said

half a decade ago

now here I am

with just a day left with her

I cannot stop me

For it was my call

I wouldn’t stop

For I have to go

I just had to say

You made me, me

I never let you go

from the depths of my heart

For you are the one

my true first love

Mumbai my love…

First Love...

I was impressed the day I met her

I stayed around to get to know her,

and before long we had to part

I got back after a long break,

just to meet her once more,

this time again I had to leave

She was in my mind

for way too long

I had decided,

I want to be with her

and I then did

I came back again,

to be with her,

but this time around,

I am gonna stay forever

Yes she was my first

My true first love

I grew up with her

I learned my lessons,

while I was with her

I discovered myself,

while I was with her

She made me, me

She was there along

in my days of glory

and through all my down falls

I fell in love with the sea,

with rains, with sunsets,

with nights, with days and

all the beautiful things,

all this because of her

I learned how it feels to love

and to be loved

To care for someone

and to be taken care of,

while I was with her

So there I was

my heart full of love

and days full of hope

For she was there with me

Now the day has come

and so has my calling

I have to leave

And here I am about to,

Leave my first true love

Mumbai I’ll miss you…

Pleasure and the pain

For a moments pleasure

we endure years of pain

we never regret

we never complain

For the one who gives pain

is our very own

or so we believe

till they prove it otherwise

For our very own

we endure

even the whole worlds pain

‘coz it’s love

for our very own

When that pain nearly kills you

or sucks the life blood out of you

You’ll still endure

for its for our very own

All these while your pains

remains only yours

and a slight concern

to the close ones who know you

While your very own is blissfully ignorant

And the day your very own

comes ups to you

to say “Did I ask you to ?”

You can’t help but ask

“Why did I?”

That’s one question

you’ll never want to face

and even the pain of facing it

you’ll take it with a smile

For its Pleasure and the pain

from our very own…

Walk away

If there comes a day,

when you get what I say

I hope that day,

aint too far away

On that fateful day,

You’ll know what I say

and all I have been saying

right till today

Right on that day,

I would want to say

“Have it that way”

but I hope I can say it

That’s why I say,

Today is the day

Later the day is,

I might not say

what I really want to say

On that particular day

I don’t want you to pay

For what you didn’t say

right here today

For that fateful day,

may never come our way

If that’s the way,

I’ll have to walk away…
