Missing You
And there you were,
Standing right before me,
You didn't see me,
But I did.
I fell. I fell in love.
You were busy with your friends,
Having a good time,
Laughing, giggling,
Cherishing every fleeting moment,
You kept walking towards me,
And all I did,
Was stand still.
I tried, but couldn't move even a muscle.
I kept staring at you, mesmerized,
At the beauty that was you,
I was lost,
Somewhere deep inside my own riled up emotions,
I was gone,
To some place I had never been,
I was stuck in time,
And wanted you,
This moment,
To stay the way it was,
Forever.
You walked past me,
But didn't notice that one guy,
Who had completely lost himself in your smile,
Who had forgotten who he was in your flying hair,
Who had died, and reborn as a lover,
A person who didn't care about the world,
But just wanted you there.
Nothing more. Just you. And you.
So, I decided,
I won't give up,
I won't let my love die this time,
Not again,
I can't face the agony and hurt again,
I just can't.
I gathered the courage,
And tapped your shoulder.
You looked back at me, confused.
You weren't there.
You never were.
I had truly lost love.
It's been a year, but
It seems I haven't recovered from that.
A complete stranger,
Who resembled you,
But not you,
Was staring at me,
And I broke down.
I couldn't control this storm of emotions, bursting out of me,
I couldn't.
I had lost the love of my life.
I kept weeping uncontrollably, and just fell on the floor, depressed.
I cried my heart out,
Just your memory made me this miserable.
I want you back,
But I can't. No matter how much I cry now.
I have lost the love of my life
