Goodbyes

As I stand at the ruins of what we called a thing
I look back and I can't help but
compare you to you
How you make me feel now
and how you made me feel then
when our relationship moved from I can't get enough of you
to weeks passing by without a call
I know the flame is dead
and there's no use questioning
who poured ice water over it

The last time I called you
we talked casually like we usually do
but I was saying goodbye
I knew it was the last time we talk
no one said it but it was so loud
I hid the bit of sorrow the bit of longing
that was seeping through my eyes and my mouth
that was my way of saying goodbye
you had something to do as you always say
you said you'll call me later
When you did not mean it
I said goodbye
and I meant a real goodbye

I'm calmer now
happier and much lighter
I'm not sure if I ever was happy
and I mean real happy with you
I've thought about it for long
when the answer was in front of my eyes

Sunset III

your eyes were fixed on the screen

scrawling through the varied scenes

you missed looking at the sunset

the most beautiful sunset

your heart ached

that was your daily nature escape

you had a deal with the sun and the clouds

to the sea, moon and the stars

never to look away when they appear

never to miss their beauty for ordinary news and scenes

to forever be in awe

when they appear and disappear

and in exchange,you'll be the truest you

your vision clear and your logic sound

but today you broke your oath 

and missed your luck

and looked away from the most beautiful dusk

for it would have inspired a thousand words

and helped you paint with the clearest of thoughts

instead you chose

the hustle and the bustle

the noise of the social world 

and you missed the sunset

the most beautiful sunset
