It sure had been a while Since I had seen you give me a smile Why did I think I understood That you needed space and that you would be good?
When you looked away as your eyes met mine Why did I think everything was fine? Walking away was my crime And now I wish I could go back in time!
Why did I just let you pass by without even wondering why those eyes of yours looked vacant and sad as if they would never again be glad!
I wish I had paused to talk And held your hands on a long walk, told you what you meant to me instead of just letting things be!
But you knew I was always there That you had all my love and care You at least could have given me a shout Or did you think I too would walk out?
I know life is a hard game And most things never remain the same With all my heart I wish I knew What terrible things had changed you!
If only I had one more chance to wake you up from that trance If only I had at least tried, I might have still had you by my side!
A fine poem indeed… I wish I was still in my poetry writing mood… I could gather more honey I guess… Anyway preggy articles rock till Suzan returns… “Or did you think I too would walk out?”- this question will definitely bring “yes” 😛
It is a beautiful poem. Similar feelings I found in the following lines. I used to chant it long back. It is the unbound feelings.
പാഴില് മുഖത്തിരിച്ചെന്
നേര്ക്ക് അരക്ഷണം
ചായുന്ന കണ്ണുമായ്
പകല് പോകവേ ഹൃത്തിലൊരെകാകി
മാഴ്കുന്നു ജീവനെ,
അത്രമേല് സ്നേഹിച്ചിരുന്നുവോ
നീന്നെ ഞാന്.
Turning the face in vain towards me,
when the day is leaving, with a half closed eye,
A lonely man cries in my heart,
Did I love you that much…..
Well said. Communication is key to successful and healthy relationship.
