Wiped Out

After 5 months, I saw you. But you didn't see me.

-

-

I saw you today

Wiping the windows

Looking so strange

I saw you today 

Huge distance between us

When I'm only 

A few meters away.

Lapses

Stop to think. Think to stop. 

-

-

There are still times

When my mind goes empty;

Free of thoughts and dreams,

Of fears and failures,

A state of complete blankness

Utter absence of all

And like the first rays

Of the sun at dawn

Thoughts of you

Shine on me

Haunting my mind

Like a plague,
An infestation of sorts,
A slow painful death,
With a cure but not a hope.

Elusive

Will you answer me?

-

-

If only I was there

And he wasn't

Would you have chosen me?

If only I kept you

For myself

Would I be enough?

If only you weren't there

When I cried

Would you even notice me?

If only I had the courage

To tell you how I feel

Would everything be alright?

Perfume

Hmmmm.....I still smell you.

-

-

Inhale, Inhale

That's the first

Thing I do

When you pass by

Making sure my 

Lungs breathe in

The only part of

You that I can have;

You're scent clung

To me the way dreams

Resurface the first

Time I open my eyes,

But like the natural

Process of the world,

I'd have to let you go,

And so I exhale,

Almost,

Saving some of 

Your smell inside me,

The only part of you

That I can have.

Cricket

Go ask!

-

-

You ask for light

Not because you are

In the dark;

Nor because you are

Feeling lost;

You ask for it

Because you want

To get the name

And you want 

To be asked

What's your's;

I got both,

Only because

I asked for light,

Thrice.

Tacky

Sometimes someone you don't know makes your night.

-

-

Orange shirts are tacky

That's why I seldom wear them

But when I saw you

I never saw your shirt

Or the color it was in

I only saw your face

And for the rest of the night

I felt like a teenager again

I wanted to stop looking

But it is so hard

I envy the bottle of beer

You were holding

I wished it was my hand

Clasped between your fingers

That night I felt that

Somehow, somewhere

A person will look at me

The way I was looking at

The owner of that orange shirt.

Ifs makes us appreciate what we currently have and have not. Agree or disagree?

-

-

If by chance you decide

To forget me

Then, by all means

Please do

Because when that 

Time happens

I wouldn't even know

Who you were

Or what we had,

It would surprise me

To know that you 

Have forgotten me

When I don't even know

Who you are.

On the other hand,

If that won't happen

Then I'll do everything

For you to remember me.
