                                                         In you I found solace


Sunshine to a little girl's day, you were her sweetheart

In you I found solace, nothing in this world could move us apart


In the sweet talks and discussions, together we got submerged 

Riding on waves of mirth, from deep seas of sorrow our love emerged


Subsumed in the warmth and comfort of whose arms, you were like a comfortable arm chair

I could bare my heart,  share my inhibitions and fear


You were like a swing perched in the patio, whose soft fabric sunlight did caress

I could lie down and fall asleep talking in your embrace


I told you how my day went, under the sky lit up by the moon bright and stars shining, 

We would ponder about it, discuss it often until we bid adieu to the moon and welcomed the  birds chirping


We travelled to serene hamlets, climbed daunting mountains, in angry rivers we did dive

 Through your eyes  my fantasies and dreams came alive

 

How did so many years pass by, why did you move away,

How could our love not survive the gusts of time, which nothing ever could sway


Many times I thought of getting back to you

The older, wise girl empowered over the  little girl who had no clue


The little girl's love was unbashed and pure

As I grew old, shackles of wisdom made it guarded and complicated to endure


Something stopped me, something pulled me away

I sacrificed my happiness, I sacrificed our love may be due to  other things which came in way


I also doubted you and got scared of baring too much,

Fettered by the fears, I lost the golden touch


I thought,  what was different, what was unique about me?

what did i have to offer you, you could look around and find someone better in a jiffy


I never stopped thinking about you

I want to come back to you


I want to bring alive my dreams with you, bring alive my soul

Bring alive people whom everyone will remember, make my heart complete, fill the void, fill that hole


Take me under your wings and let me fly with you into the blue sky,

Galloping into enchanted forests, riding furious waves in a sea with fishes passing by


Hold my hand and take me to quaint villages with houses lit up with people's faces beaming, 

Filled with mirth due to children giggling, rich aroma of freshly baked bread exuding


I want to revive our love, get subsumed in your world and forget everything

I want to get drenched again in the sweet droplets of love, I want to start again writing
