Where We Left

Your very first glance,

stilled my breath,

Time froze there —

Love whispered beneath.

Eyes made promises,

Hearts began to sway,

Without a word,

We melted away.

I held your hand,

In hidden retreats,

Far from the world,

In hush-filled streets.

Your tight embrace

soothed my pain,

Your lips, a monsoon —

a sweet, wild rain.

Each meeting we stole,

as time would flee,

But our love —

won every plea.

Then came shadows,

a silent storm,

Whispers turned

our sunshine forlorn.

We parted ways,

without goodbye,

Caught in fate’s

quiet lie.

I searched for you

in every face,

Your laughter echoed

in every place.

Years wore on,

hair turned grey,

Yet my heart

still lost its way.

Then came a day

with quiet skies,

And you stood there —

my soul’s sunrise.

Same fire burned

in your gaze anew,

Same warmth,

same me, same you.

We stood, we stared,

the silence loud,

Our lost years

wrapped in a shroud.

Your hand had aged,

Mine too had worn,

But love returned —

never torn.

You smiled like

time forgave our fall,

And I said —

“Let’s begin from where

we lost it all…”
