Never Gone

My secrets, you knew
And the thirst quenched when i knew yours..

when i was wrong you defended me,
your verdicts made me strong.
even when you stood by me, to judge
i felt there wasn't anything about to grudge
...I knew i could never do without you...

when times changed, so did we

Newer people, newer places
attractive people, attractive world
i made it a point not to change, just to realize you did.

but for me, you were "Never Gone"

your approach towards your life was fantastic:
practical,focussed,directed, with an aim to live and die for;
i admired them so much,but never expressed,
thought you knew, read my thoughts.

and i knew you would always be there with me,
you could be "Never Gone"

you walked into my life without knocking;
i didn't mind;
we were kids then...right?? :)
Best Friends, "Soul mates"-you named us so

Thank You

But i didn't knew you would walk outthe same way you came in:
untold, unsaid,without a goodbye.

in your absence, i do miss your presence,
you wanted to leave, so you did,so did i let you
i am sorry for anything, something or perhaps everything.

Wish you were "Never gone"

lingering wishes...

The wish still lingers
behind my eyes
but its hard to say.

words of comfort, skilfully administered

what else have i to do,

my pulses have fallen weak since i saw those tears
i tried hard to be bad
i tried leaving
...going away....
but your goodness held me back.

this death is worst than death itself..
"Oh death, tread softly.."
but it has to die...


there's no story ahead.
