One Night Stand Poem by Mamta Agarwal

One Night Stand



It’s hard to say good bye
So don’t even try.
Don’t wait in car for long
To watch me enveloped by fog.

Let the memories we have built
Warm our heart without guilt.
It had no future
We knew, so don’t brood

Don’t allow regret to fill you
With disqietitude, for these few
Hours when we made a connection
And made love with abandon,

Sharing dreams till late at night
In the dark with no lights
My head on your shoulder
And you gently stroking my hair

At times we were silent
Only sound was that of our breaths
One arm thrown across your chest
I think we knew how we felt

We both want different things from life
So there is no way we can be man and wife
I hope you don’t take it as rejection and understand
And never look back on this as one night stand.

This is like a slice of a reality scene from a movie directed by Ray! That old saying hold good even today; -' Better to have loved and lost, than not to have loved at all! ' -RAJ
