And then…

She whispered in my mind!

My deaf ears!

She is so near!

She whispered in my ears!

A sweet “good bye”!

How could I say, her  words were “bitter”?

She said, “we are not made for each other!”

How could I hear?

I said, loud, “Oh! My dear! I know you will never be mine,

But,

Just think over! We be friends forever?”

She said, “never ever!”

I requested, “My dear, please say, so long!”

And then…

She had, for me, a song…

“hai tumse…ho na ho…muje…itna yakeen hai…muje pyar tumse…nahi hai…muje pyar tumse nahi hai…”

And then…

Now and then…

I miss her!

I miss her!

Miserable truth!

Miserly life!

What did I need?

What did I give her?

Nothing!

Nothing!

I know

How much I love her!

And then…

I know, she is happy!

My dear is so happy now!

She laughs at me!

My love will remember her!

And then…

I requested her, “If not love me, please try to remember…??”

Her silence told me her words!

Her eyes told me afterwards,

she had someone more “dearer!”

My heart beats and just beats,

yes,

for her!

My heart has no corners…

she is in the center!!

And then…

I sang for me…

“ek akela is seher mein…raath mein aur dhaupahar mein…aabodhaana doondthaa hai…aashiyaanaa…doondthaa hai…ek akela is seher mein…”

And then…

I live. I live. I live.

I think, “She must be happy!”

Her words ring in my mind,

my ears!

I miss her!

And then…

I write this poem for her…because…I miss her!!!

She will miss me now!!

I will not say “forever!”

Because…she is so dear!!

I miss her!
