How nonchalantly we made promises of a love eternal
And in the quest for eternity
We forgot how to not forget each other,
I had forgotten how it felt like
To be in his presence,
How he would talk of the faraway stars
As we sit under the moonlit sky...
I had forgotten his perfume
And he had forgotten
How my cheeks turn red
Every time I caught a glance of him.
In the quest for eternity
I wrote a million poems,
Letters I would not share...
We had forgotten how it felt like
To live in the "reality" people created.
We left things unsaid
Like we see in the movies written on ideas created by Shakespeare...
I would cut my wrists,
Drink wine to remember
And recite Bukowski and Plath
In the quest for the eternity they derived...
But most of the pages life did unfold,
Were nothing like the books he read,
Or the poems I wrote...
Life moved on,
One memory after another...
We kept forgetting
Each moment we thought we'd cherish.
Yesterday, I saw him again
His picture on my "news feed"...
I had forgotten how to love him,
So I drop him a "like".
He had forgotten how we would talk for hours
To forget about reality,
So he dropped me a "Hi".
From late night talks to facebook chats,
From long letters to simple "sup?"s
We reduce, we obliviate,
The magic of the stars,
We forget the love
And remember our quest for eternity
Turn into a busy day and tiring night..
So I just found it out today that Geeta Nair ( http://geetaavij.wordpress.com ) nominated me for THE LIEBSTER BLOG AWARD (liebster meaning “favourite” in German, which reminds me of the first German sentence I learnt - ich liebe dich :-D ) last year. Also on the same month of November 2013, I was nominated for this award by Bhavya Kaushik ( http://bhavyakaushik.com / ) too. I understand that I am too late in honouring the two nominations of the Liebster Award but I am a big fan of the saying – “ better late than never” , so I am going to accept it anyway.
