The first time we met
You must have had a different reason, I bet
The one that brings to the fore all the hurts
Damn! It was possibly to gratify your ego
You know you should have let go long ago
But you held on to boost your self-esteem
And indulged because it made you come alive
If only you knew it was just a moment in time
All I long to see is the smiles on your face
Waking up to all the late night talks
The endless drama when you deny me
The cackle when the chatter box falls back
All the communing and hand holding
The walks and shopping at the malls
The talks and show of balls
The rise and falls
Oh, this narrative is set in the past
A reminder that nothing lasts
That, moments should be ceased
That, life is evanescent.
