The days we strolled hand in hand
In light drizzle
The rain drops
And the rainbows we saw through them
The smell of the new born mud
Do you remember?
Do you remember the morning fog?
The steaming idlies at Iyengar’s?
The By-Two coffee
The late night cinemas?
The ride back home
The love we shared
Do you remember us?
Do you remember the first touch?
The gentle caress on my hair
The hesitant mingling of our fingers
The nervous smile
Anxious eyes
Thirsty Heart
Do you remember?
Me?
My name?
My face
Smell
My all
Do you remember me??
You wish for a nest when it rains
And
Wait to fly out
I miss you most times
Though I have you around all times
Do you remember?
The days we fought
The pillow in the middle
The cuddle at dawn, and the realization little later
The badly made coffee in the morning
The forgotten Kiss
And the hug
Careful glance, to avoid being caught
We have become memory
The present reduced to a badly directed stage act
But why is act going on?
Even after the curtain call
We have become memory
And memories of us come back to me as a sweet dream
Inflicting a pain, sweet and sour at the same time
Can we live in our past and push the present forward
A decade of marriage
And its anniversary has become a forgotten tale
We cuddle up in our sleep
But as strangers we wake
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
the first smile,
the first touch
Kiss
Kiss
Do you remember?
Unending phone calls
Coffee that never gets o’er
Sun that never sets
When it does finally,
It never comes back
The lazy mornings
The disturbing maid
And the sunlight
The walk around the house in underclothes
The cuddle at the gas stove
My kiss on the neck
And the lazy morning rain
To be continued….
