GONE NOT GONE

You still cherish his touch,

When I foolishly caress you,

You still hum the same song,

That you two sang in the rain,

You frown when I mention his name,

But my smart girl, you act in vain,

Ofcourse, your lips haven’t forgotten,

That first ever…….

How well do you remember the passages

From that heart rending letter he wrote,

And you call that girl, my friend, an affair?

Who considers even my touch wrong!

You saw eating up her glow?

Seeing in my case what has never been,

And being blind to all facts for you?

Accuse me not of playing away,

Don’t console me with those damn words,

Don’t’ tell me it has all gone,

Each time you deny it, I am more assured,

What is gone is not yet gone!
