Those Days... Poem by TITIKSHA SINGHAL

As I was coming from where you were going
The distance between us was on the verge to fade,
And as your eyes stayed on mine
I knew that a difference is being made.

Those days, when we doubted on our hearts
But invested hope on the other,
Hoping that you would love me
I wondered whether I love you or not.

The first stage of love, when we looked
Stealthily at each other.
The second stage started with
Best friends before lovers.

Those days when we waited that the other
Would confess their love filmily;
Desperately desiring to meet each day
Without leaving a day in between.

And when the confessions were made by any of two
The life seemed better than heaven.
The heart beat in the rhythm of love,
And jumped on cloud nine directly from seven!

Those dreamy days…those real nights
Those hour-long talks…those sweet smiles
Those hugs and kisses…those love bites
Those similes and metaphors filled the life.

Those promises made for never to break
Those words said and meant them well
Those prolong desires, feelings unfake,
And loved each other as like hell!

Destinies were visible, path seemed clear
As we walked hand in hand
And hoped to stay together
For as long as the eternity end.

…Those days…as now I recall those days
Which now seem the epithet of past
And disappeared like a gush of wind
…How I wished them never to last…! !
