Yes we were there
again...

when i smiled
coz i could feel the curves
of your lips
form into a crescent moon
when you shared your joy
with veiled suspense

when i felt
your spirit filled with hope,
love and trust
to give it a chance
and make life colourful
with shades of bliss, fate & game

when i knew
you are with that someone
you were destined to be
not a stop-over
but the final train

Yes, we were there again
Where we were friends first
and friends till the end

Dreams or something else...

To wake up in a sudden abrupt way and being wide wake in less than a second.

A cold sweat down the back of your neck, shivery palms & dried parched mouth.

That unsettling feeling that something isn't right. Peering into the unfazed & sleeping face next to you, which lies undisturbed, unaware of your fear.

That acute sense of complete loneliness. That need of mom's warmth. To tell you 'darling it was just a bad dream, you see I am there with you.'

The loneliness of wakefulness and the dark fear of sleep & the return of the scenes leaves you restless.

And you are just in limbo, unable to move or keep still...
