...

Time has come to a standstill,
Memories, indelible, in my heart fill,
Of late night calls,
And heart-warming smiles,
Of dreamy gazes,
And walks that went on miles.

I'm overpowered by this insanity,
I know not what to do,
Maybe its just me,
But it will always be you.

I want to go back to that beach,
I want those waves to rush to our feet,
Your eyes said it all in that moment of silence,
At that heavenly hour when my heart skipped a beat.

Eight hours of travel,
Fifteen minutes of silence,
Heart shaped balloons,
Pink and white,
Stuffed toys holding hearts,
Alphabet-shaped fries,
That read "Happy B'day Anu",
The scar on my forehead that refuses to leave,
A week-old message sitting in my inbox,
Random humming of Ilayaraja tunes,
Recollections of stolen glances and smiles at a wedding,
Are only my favourite excuses to think of you.
