Am Not Me.. Without You [Guest Post]

As I walk the lanes of memory, it feels like it was just yesterday

I was with you and the world seems to so gloomy without  you.

Every time there is war report on the television , my heart sinks ..

All I wish is it’s not you.

You are at the border fearlessly battling the enemies

And here I am battling my fears of losing you.

I had a bad day at work and was having coffee all alone on a cold day

Right then my cell phone rings to alert the arrival of a least expected parcel.

I rushed to the mail room brushing against strange arms and crossing unknown eyes.

There lay a packet on table with labeling that said it belonged to me ,

Neither was writing known nor was the fragrance, yet it said it was mine.

I struggled to break open the box like a kid all excited and anxious

To find myself nothing but me.

It was a handmade sketch of mine which was so simply beautiful.

The sketch was so like me , the happy me , the old me.

And there was a note which said

“ Miles away I am all smiles because I smile when I see u smile .

But I think , you have forgotten to smile

You now need it more than me

I Love you !  Am home this Valentines  ...”

In a moment the world seemed so nice 

the crowd was now genuine and warm 

Unknown eyes were now shining bright

I rushed back to work joyfully playing between the friendly arms of the people passing by.
