Once Again

Once again
Once again I passed by the gate
I passed by the Gate of your college
My legs were fast till I reached it
But as soon as they reached their desired destination
They denied moving an inch further

As I stood by the gate and peeped inside
My eyes searched for the lovely face
The face which brings alive my dead heart
The face which brings alive my stupid art

Onlookers looked at me surprisingly
I definitely seemed a fool over there
I could hear them cracking jokes at me
Whatever, my heart just din't care

My legs felt burdened
Not budging to move
I knew I had to go ahead
I had to accept whatever is true

My heart still hoping for atleast a glance
Calling your name, It waited for hours
As the tears rolled down inside my face
I begged to God to see your face

As I still stood stranded
The memories came like a storm in my eyes
The first time I saw you
The first time our eyes met
The first time we talked
These memories always make my eyes wet

The first time I called you
The response that you gave me
Those chats in the canteen
Those chats in the library

The stupid acts I did to attract your attention
Coming to library for no reason
Coming before time to vouch for you
Bunking Important lectures to spend time with you

The smile that you gave
The laugh you had on my stupid jokes
Brought smile on my face
Though I was stranded for time unmeasured

After a long wait,
I consoled my heart
Literally pushing my legs to move ahead
I tried thinking of somebody else
Coz I needed to move
I needed to move on
But I still have a hope
One day, you will come back
One day, you will be mine
Once again we will spend time together
Once again I will see your smile
Once again my heart will come alive
Once again................
