Before you go…

After more than a year, I browsed through some of the stuff that I had written and kept as draft versions. I realised I had lots kept in drafts, many of them long forgotten. I decided I would post them one by one.

For starters, I thought I would post the below which I had written 6 years back !!!
I don't even remember what inspired me to write this.

Before you go

To express my feelings to you or anyone,

Something nature has not given me,

Sadly when I want to, I realise, I’m late,

Spoken feelings are few; unspoken, so many.

Occasions come and go,

But not a word from me though,

Years pass by,

But I haven’t told you so,

You are the special occupant of my heart,

Living in the softest corner I own.

Friendship and love,

Endangered or extinct that they may seem,

You made me see, that they still exist, in you & me.

Dear one, you know me and I know you,

Of all the troubles I caused you,

You’ve never turned your back on me.

Never do I remember doing a favour,

In return for the ones you have favoured me.

Now I see you lying on death’s bed,

With pangs of sadness and teary eyes,

This poem I am writing to let you know,

‘Before you go, let me hold your hand,

Look into my eyes & vow me that,

You will find a place for us to be,

In Heaven, where they shall be,

Don’t have to wait too long for me,

‘Cause I can’t live on my own, without you beside me.’
