Do You Remember?

Do you remember the time we first met?
Not at a distant island during sunset
Not at a dim light cafe with jazzy music
But at the crossroads of life.....So very prosaic!

Do you remember the time we dreamt with eyes wide open?

And wrote our name across the sky with imaginary fountain pen...

Dreams for you dreams for me
Dreams that were for no one else to see
To flutter with wings that spread wide apart
To collect precious delights for filling the cart
Little birds we were, in love with the sky
The urge for blue....a reason enough to fly

We covered thousands miles without being weary
Distress was the word absent in our dictionary!!!

Do you remember when we just had yesterday in our store?

The thought for tomorrow sent to a far-off ignore

And today was the time in our heart and soul

And today was the day which defined our goal
Living the present was all you taught me
And I taught you how to forget destiny......

Do you remember the time we made the world our playground?

We jumped and grinned in that happiness, so profound!

We painted the sky with crimson red and flowers radiant yellow

Touched all around with surreal magic and a scintillating glow

We nurtured our relations with love and proximity

Never letting distrust even tread their viscinity

And even if there was a speck of quandary

We held our hand during this revelry

As life was nothing but a ceremony for us

To be enjoyed with emotions so very boisterous

Do you remember the night when darkness gripped

With a mist so impervious that we nearly conceived

The myth to break free, the courage not to stay

It was then that the faith in each other came to play

We realized what wonders can hope make in reality

Because the inner self was a strength not to go in futility

Thus with you I won a victory glorious

And a belief even stronger, truly miraculous

This was how the journey was traversed

A bliss impeccable, not a single moment cursed

This was how I felt while growing old with you

An experienced that can be achieved only by a few

Even now when the wrinkled eyes gape at your dusty portrait

The wedding kiss comes to my mind with a feeling more than great!
