Ah! The grave anguish
Of meeting you again,
The mixed feelings of being with you,
the longing, the pain.
It has been a year,
we had that row.
And parted ways,
tried to let go..
Things didn’t work out
as I envisaged.
It’s probable, I am getting
difficult with age.
Don’t get me wrong,
I love to see you flourish.
Your triumphs, your laughter,
Your memories I cherish.
You flit in and out of my life.
This is your right.
Yet, fleeting is your attention,
blind, the sight.
The scant time you can accord
leads me to believe,
I won’t pass away with a regret,
the bond we forged will provide reprieve.
Overwhelmed with love and joy
of your company, I forgo the claim.
But do tell me if I deserve just
these Borrowed Minutes to my name..
An unusual, unprecedented piece from you. And it’s gooood. More than just good. And no. You don’t deserve borrowed minutes at all. You got the whole prime time slot. 😛 😛

For some people happiness comes easier than others, but what we’re starting to understand is that happiness — that sense of connection and ease of appreciating the good moments and being more graceful and resilient during the difficult ones — is a skill and strength that we can all build.
