I Saw Him That Day!!!

I saw him that day
taking a burger in Mc'D
Dressed in blue, looking just the same
As he looked few tym before.

Felt like running away.
But then paused. Why should I ?
I’ve done no wrong, told no lie.
Its useless to run from the truth anymore.

But then, I caught his eye.
I thought he’d smile, but I was wrong.
I had become just a part of the throng,
A Nobody, a page torn out of his memory

He looked away, so did I
I didn’t know him, well...that’s what I showed.
While all around us music flowed..
Music touching us...binding him and me..

We are strangers now.
But once, we were something else.
Once, our lives were sunshine and tinkling bells..
Things have changed, won’t be the same again..

But still, I feel somehow..
Still.. I know, on starlit nights, he misses..
All those words, those moments,
Those memories still bring him pain..

It’s a soothing thought.
Or am I just consoling myself? Perhaps.
Its weird the way around my mind it wraps..
Be it so. I’ll hold on to it.. won’t let it go .

I lost him suddenly...Vainly sought
Amidst the crowds, the endless rows..
I looked all around standing on my toes,
Wanted to shout..” Come back…come back once more....”
