I told God to make me forget about you, 

But, instead of erasing your memories it strengthened more, 

Now my future is collapsing because I can’t sense a ‘us’ in it.

I never thought that after meeting you; I will live in a state of permanent sadness,

Forever I will be melancholic, and a part of me will never stop thinking about you, 

Damn!

So, I began to live in present, 

But, each day reminds me of you- your absence. 

Time is collapsing, 

So am I. 

Time is changing but not me, 

I am standing still on the borders-

Waiting to erase your memory,

But, I know it isn’t possible anymore.

Sadness of a broken dream?

A shared home?!

Perhaps, bereaving a shared destiny all at once?!

Who knows but the sad star sparkling alone in the sky knows.

It knows my wound,

It knows my loss,

And, it knows my hopes,

I want to recreate that once was annihilated.

I want to recreate anything from the scratch,

This time, I don’t want to fail, 

This time I want to complete the game, 

I want to reach the ends, 

And, I want to meet the sea,

Walk side by side during sunsets, 

I want to rewrite the story,

The narrative will be like a fairy tale,

That will say about-

One destined encounter: and, here I meet my soulmate.
