What Could Have Been...

I wish I could blame you

For all the things that went wrong with us.

Its partially your fault, but largely mine.

I made a pitstop where you permanently reside.

I was in a transition

An important phase of life.

Learning to love, trust and commit

While you had all your priorities aligned.

I never intended to let go

But you pulled the threads too tight

The yarn ball kept rolling off

Till I fell of the radar completely.

So much wasted time

Crying, dreaming, promising

No use wondering what could have been.

It would have happened if it was meant to be.

Words of the Aged!

As the years erode my body

Circumstances matured my mind.

I might look old and jaded

But I am as young as the day inside.

The silver lining in my hair

Is more than a reward of my glorious past.

It talks not only of my age,

But also of the wisdom I got.

Someday we'll sit and

I will share with you my story.

The things we used to do

Before the dawn of internet and automatic machinery.
