i fear
i fear looking behind
that how far i have come
leaving behind places
leaving behind people
places i loved and
people who loved me back

i fear
i fear to not to see
my own footsteps behind me
my only hope to get back home
but of all what i fear the most
that while on this journey of mine
i ignorantly became so selfish
to not to leave any footprints behind

How bad will you feel if someone promised to meet you at a rendezvous, but didn't show up?
How long can you wait?

So, what do you think, the dreams promised by you and adventures entitled to you, will wait if you are not showing up?
How long will they wait?

and years later while drinking
in some locale down the street
i will catch you in the corner
where we used to meet

i will sit beside you holding your hand
fingers intertwined like our stars
your face resting on my shoulder
and my eyes contemplating your scars

stroking your hair and kissing your cheek
and when you open your eyes you'd freeze
you won't find me there not anymore
that would be just how memories breeze

Was it our own share of happiness
That made us happy
Or was it the trading of places
For shedding each other's tears

how come your eyes
could still swallow up
of all that was left
of my underlying world

and how come your smile
could be so perfectly aligned
filling depths of all my voids
like a long lost jigsaw piece

..and every
small little thing
you did made
butterfly effects
in my world..

You were the one end
out of thousands
I didn't think about..

Thousand layers of you
Like petals of the wildflower
Of all your petals
I could just know four

Thousand colors of the dusk
Like the sky you have wore
Of all your colors
Honey mine isn't one anymore

all the sunrises by the lakeside
there was so much to explore
fleeing to the countryside
in those shoddy shoes we wore

laughing till stomach pains
and going till all the extremes
with your face on my shoulder
and in my pocket were my dreams

we drove long in the night
to watch the moon shine above
and sitting on the mountain top
weren't we almost in love ?

i don't expect a destination
but just to find myself again

i do wanna travel to get lost
to be found by someone again

That day with you on the bridge
With the piercing beauty around
I stole a glimpse from your eyes
Of the home that we never found

And in the fragments of my words
All of those I ever uttered to you
Was an underlying truth so naked
Of the feeling that I never said you

That together when we struggled
Then I cared less what was around
For I was searching for it so long
And you're the home I never found

Dear thevisionarist,
Thanks. You actually know how to motivate. Most of my friends are writers. I have been fond of poetries and quotes but somehow always failed it framing it as beautifully as my friends do but seriously none of my friends motivated the way you did. Thank you so much.
