To all my friends, to IIT K...
SINKING IN!
An ugly salwar suit and sport shoes,
Two pleated braids and a frowning face
An ocean of apprehension;
Yet fresh in my mind is that first day.
And here I stand one last time with you
Yet I fail to say a goodbye
Traces of this moment has no laughter or cry
Nor are there the departing tears;
“It's over” is sinking in: is all my fear
The next few weeks,
My job, my vacation and tickets for convo
All is planned,
And I subtly felt you and I in a different dawn
It's sinking in...
In the midst of projects, assignments and grades
Sleepless nights and scorching days
Subliminal yet piercing it whispers in my head
“This is the last”
This meeting, this smile,
This teasing , these ties
And tomorrow it will be past
It's sinking in....
With you at mess table, cribbing at the food
It comes to my mind
Tomorrow you won't be here to sit by my side
Wish this thought had not crossed;
It's sinking in is all what it brought
Lost in bleak flashes of the bliss and the triumphs,
Pride and celebrations, the failures and frustrations
Ironical it is, the same they appear
Ironically it brings the smile with tears
There are paths different, that await u and me
ReplyDeleteStill someday, we will meet over tea
The spark in your eyes will bring a smile
Making me want to stay for a while
Millions of moments, together we had
Millions of memories, happy and sad
They will again cross our mind
And it will be a pleasure of a different kind
To sit with you and look behind
