Now that you have gone away
I think of you and my eyes get moist
Why couldn't I have held on
Why did I let you go

You went away without making a sound
You did not even say goodbye
I kept thinking you would comback
because you had never gone this way before

Your thoughts kept coming
and I couldn't sleep
I started to cry
only to be stopped by the thought
that maybe you are still nearby
I would give you a call
and you would comeback running
I would hold you
not let you go this time

I had promised not to call you out loud
lest somebody heard
So I whispered your name incessantly
hoping that you would hear
But you never heard my heart's cry
however much I tried

I saw you oneday on the way
and wanted to wave
but again I remembered my promise
and stopped, standing where I was
just waiting for you to see me
but I was hoping against hope
my mind whispered to me
that you are looking for a fresh start
and won't comeback again
but I shut it up...
how could I hear such a thing!

So today when I saw you again
I could not stop from asking you why?
And you paused and
gave a reply
a reply I had told you, I feared
My heart stopped
and I could not even cry
So I hurriedly said goodbye
and even you had to go
But in this short tryst with destiny
I saw a feeling of sadness in your eyes
You were sympathising
But I wasn't going to show you my emotions this time

And I wished you the best for your new start
I hope you will always be happy
It was too much to ask of you!

But I do have a right to cry
and I cried the whole night
I cried and I prayed to God
to take away the pain
and then cried again

I had felt your pain 
and made them my own
and I had cried when you cried
hoping that just maybe you would smile
and only thing I wanted for you was happinness
I never had any right to ask you to stay
So i wish that maybe this time
pain wouldn't touch you
but please allow me to feel sad and cry!

Why do you write such poetry man? Hopeless to say the least! anyway maybe you
will become a good writer one day :) Don't be so sad and write some cheerful
things and you should not belittle your heart for those who go away.

Hello Eqbal, 
Well whatever it is, they are my words. So take it or leave it!
Maybe I'll write something cheerful for you sometime when I have the mood for
it!
thanks anyway for your comments.

wow.  that was amazing.  resp:1 says "yuck" and then bolsters the poet; 
resp:2 accepts the opinion for what it's worth and thanks resp:1 for 
their comment.  

It's good to write sad poetry sometimes.
