I don't know how to get you back...

one day i saw you,
another i didn't,
and before i knew,
i just couldn't,

probably i shouldn't have said goodbye,
maybe i was just looking for a reason to fight,
maybe i was too dumb not to try,
and let you go off my sight,

i know i had issues,
but so did you,
but you were my only muse,
pure as the morning dew,

i no more seek any answer,
i have let go off many things,
i have dropped my armour,
have cut my wings,

i know i shouldn't miss you,
i know i shouldn't go back on my words,
but i no more have any clue,
my mind is like the flocking birds,

and as i see you passing away,
i just want to feel the innocence again,
that i saw when you did play,
on the swings, though a bit inane,

i don’t know if i should,
but i don’t want to give up,
i have done all i could,
and there have been many a hiccup,

but i kept moving,
as i had said i will,
but times have been testing,
not the same old run of the mill,

I just want to try again,
so that we can remember each other with a smile,
i don’t want our relationship to go in vain,
because it was more than just a while,

i know it is difficult for you to trust,
but you know that i can adapt,
our memoirs may have caught rust,
but some have been well kept,

i don’t want much,
just the chance to cherish my past,
i don’t hope much,
but i believe these things would last,

so please give it a thought,
not litter the beautiful times,
the happiness they brought,
are much purer than our crimes...


LOVE ONE LOVE ALL
