so,you have not forgotten me,
and not i,you.
in a flurry of lost kilograms and unslept nights,
somewhere they sent our love walking,
in jungles of unknown futures,
and still it survives,
in a bitter inrony,
where you still have not managed to learn,
how to hate me.
and i,you.

and so,are you destroying my life,
or i,yours’
and the love,
withering away with the drying flowers somewhere,
beyond the unknown,
in a place where neither of us can reach,
grasping blindly,in the dark watches of the nights,
as we yet dream of each other,
and the promised paradise,
we have not yet learnt to live;
without each other.

i never told you,
i have found another love,
the sea,
tranquil on surface,hiding its storms beneath,
crashing on the rocks at bandstand,
trying futilely to climb up the dykes at marine drive,
powerful,relentless,unsuccessful,
and not so very different from us,
quiet…

i shed tears last night,
alone at one in the morning,
unconsciously,thinking of you,
knowing at last,
that you have not forgotten me,
in these hundred days,and hundred nights,
i have not lain awake and lonely,alone,
that somewhere beyond this space that seperates us,
you were paying the same price for loving me.

despair.
