Down the Memory Lane

Rambling down the memory lane
I remember the day 
When you made your first espy
and made me believe 
you are the one for me
your care and tutelage 
sheathed me from umpteen stings
and got me over the hot springs.

I even cherish the moment 
Whilst walking on the street
when lips moved on, in their motion
leaving others shocked
and looking for someone beside me
when everyone deduced me alone
the truth was shared between you and me.

I still mesmerise the time 
when all my dreams crushed
and hopes swayed away
still I smiled to mark the nerve
and the darkening night 
augmented the pace of tears 
and that of your wiping feat too.

I could enchant the aura
and memorize the shadowy icon 
whom you were overly green eyed
cause still being clandenstine.

And today again 
while walking on the same lanes
I'm lost in the cloud 
when I turned around
to look for the one
chatting, giggling, sharing, glowering,
walking together all these years 
appears had vanished.

Why today I'm down with the feeling
It was just a false coloring 
all the way I was single handed 
or I had lost someone very dear
and turned out to be a lonely soul again.
