A Little Too Late..

Here I'm, standing in front of this wall,

With millions of thoughts running through my mind,

No whispers, no murmurs, silence is scattered everywhere,

Seems like all the memories are getting rewind..

She is there on the other side of this wall,

So quiet, just like a silent lake,

There are so many things that she wants to say,

But she is hiding all her sorrows behind the smile that she fakes..

If only she tells me , I'll break the wall and get through it,

And then hold her tight in my arms,

But she is standing there just like a dead pole,

And now I'm longing for her and her charms..

I don't know what is she afraid of,

What is stopping her from talking to me?

Maybe she has her own reasons,

But I don't think this is how it's meant to be..

By this time I lose my patience,

So I try to break the wall and get on the other side,

And finally when I succeed in doing that,

The scene that I see is just like a dark night..

She was lying there on the ground, pale white,

Just like a fallen dead leaf,

I run to her and take her in my arms,

And I try to wake her up with my heart filled with grief..

I call her name a million times,

In a hope that she may listen to me,

But all I hear is this frightful silence,

And I just feel like a person stuck in the middle of the sea..

She was DEAD, she had gone forever,

I broke out into tears,

The world seemed to have fallen down for me,

And to listen to her voice, hungry were my ears..

I noticed she had gripped something in her fist,

It was a note for me,I unfolded it with sorrow,

My heart was shaking when I was unfolding it,

And the note read as follows: 

"I'm taking the last few breaths of my life,

And soon I'll leave this mortal world forever,

But promise me you'll be happy by cherishing the moments we shared,

And for me you'll cry never..

I love you a lot and I'll always do,

And I'll never go apart,

And no matter even if I'm not in this world,

I'll always stay close to you in your heart.."

She wants me to be happy,and if that's her last wish,

I'll try my best to do it for her,

And even if she'll stay quiet for the rest of my life,

Her voice will always be safe in my heart as delightful murmurs..

Maybe I took a lot of time to break that wall,

Maybe I could have met her for the one last time,

But now she is present only in my memories,

And she'll be alive within me for my entire lifetime..
