Jumbled



I did not know when but it seems
I have left the corner where I was supposed to wait for you.
I have walked too far ahead and lost my way back to you.
Daydreaming, I have taken few turns too many 
And I lost the corner that was meant for you and me.
Yet I wonder wistfully if till now you have been waiting for me?
Did the shadows keep changing as you kept waiting for me?
I imagine you sitting, at the corner table, just few steps away, 
With soulful eyes mirroring the loyal heart which won't sway.

Selfish, careless, thoughtless, aren't I?
Wishing that you wait for me through eternity
As i wander along new paths to new worlds amidst new crowds.
Craving for new sceneries, new adventures
Leaving you to old, dusty, fruitless memories
A vision of you alone, standing makes me pause and I look back.

I look back and see my heart waiting amidst the changing shadows,
sitting at the corner table and waiting with longing eyes,
May be you have taken a turn too many and lost your way
yet it's hopeful that sooner or later you will come one day.

My stupid, wistful heart sits alone waiting for you and me.

I look ahead and start walking ‘cause I know it’s an illusion,
nothing but my stubborn delusion that we were meant to be.
