I DIDN’T REALIZE UNTIL NOW

I remember on this day so many years back

We went out: only you and I

The reason you chose me

I didn’t realize until now!

You were sipping your favorite brand: STAR

I was sipping my mineral: COKE

Though I was gazing anxiously at your glass

Wishing you would let me take a feel of it: ALCOHOL

You did: to sooth my thirst; I felt revived afterwards

It was a great time out, indeed

I didn’t realize until now!

Today you’re gone

We are left with memories of you

The belief that you live in us

And the hope to make you proud

11 years down; you’re still evergreen in my mind

I’m left in this small bed of mine

With my mind full of your pictures

It’s funny how I think you’ll come back

At least for the old times; another time out

How impossible it’s to turn back hand of a clock!

How impossible it’s to undo the deed!

How impossible it’s to return life once taken!

How impossible it’s to be alive again once dead!

I didn’t realize until now!
