A place full of memories...

The minute I first saw you

All those years ago

I had not a single clue

I couldn’t really know

How important you would become

How special you would be

How much I would ache to be with you

When you’re far away from me

I still try to hold on to you

Each minute of every day

Relive each fleeting moment

That you once brought my way

Sometimes a distant memory

That slowly fades away

At other times you are to me

As clear as yesterday

I can smell you, breathe you, feel you

So vivid, so defined

Every tiny inch of you

Etched deep inside my mind

They say that you are not the same

The one I love is gone

Maybe that's true but in my heart

You always will live on

You can’t be an illusion

For I know u inside out

A reality more real than me

I know without a doubt

What Makes Me Me :)

Sometimes I have wondered how different life would be

Had it been for a turn of fate or a twist in destiny

Or maybe it was bigger than just plans that had been laid

Maybe it had to do with every decision that I made

Had I not stumbled on each obstacle, I might be way ahead

But instead of only rushing, I learnt something instead

Had I always climbed each stepping stone that I had ever found

I may have reached the top by now but missed what’s all around

Had I opened every single door, that opportunity knocked

Maybe I would have found that it was best if they’d stayed locked

Had I always crossed the bridges, I don’t know where I’d have been

But the world that lay beneath them, would have been left unseen

Had I always run ahead, in the hope of what I’d find

I may have always wondered what I had left behind

I’m glad things went the way they did, ‘coz even in the race

The most important thing is that, I did it at my pace

It surprises me to wonder now how different life could be

For with just a little difference, I may not have been me!

You charm me
It’s all about the tricks you play
Tickling my feet
Splashing my hair
I laugh
You whisper
We dance

You mesmerize me
How you never stop your little game,
Six hours here
Six hours there
Back and forth
Twice a day
Day after day

You are irresistible
For who can resist the feel of your touch
A gentle caress
Or a burst of delight
Sometimes this
Sometimes that
Over and over again

You leave me spellbound
I wonder in awe at your unpredictability
Raging tranquility
Mysterious, ominous
Intrusive, profound
Limitless
A mélange of moods

You comfort me
Every time you change the way you look
A shimmering blue
A brilliant green
A million shades
A single hue
A glistening masterpiece

You tease me
The way you sweep me off my feet
The more I hold on
The more you let go
Testing me
Waiting
All the time

You calm me
As you sprinkle me with fairy dust
A deep breath
A whiff of perfume
I breathe in
You breathe out
In perfect sync

You complete me
In the way you embrace my very being
Entwining spirits
Oozing life
Two hearts beating
Yours and mine
Undying…ceaseless…everlasting…

Little scraps of paper, yellow green n blue...

Old n broken crayons, empty tubes of glue...

It may seem like a lot of junk, meant to be thrown away...

Or to be left forgotten till another cleaning day.

The golden glittered edges & the pretty paper flowers

The happy warm surprises, the little silver stars...

Ever wondered where they'd come from, or what they'd left behind?

The long-forgotten pile of junk will soon spring to your mind.

They never get a second glance, are not looked at again,

But even though they’re no use now, the memories remain....
