The moment I thought
that I had moved on;
My past came knocking
and there you were...

Along with you came
the silly days of past,
Which seldom made me laugh
and long did they last.

Just a glimpse of you
and I travelled back in time,
Living each day in every second
And each tear in every smile.

It took me years,
years no less than a century;
To go beyond the phase,
which seemed as an eternity.

But now as I stand
back from where I begun,
My mind started to question;
“Does it really need to be done?”

Some meek hopes build
as you walked by my side,
And the moment I left your aura
reality struck back hard but; light!

Blinded for a moment
now the vision is wide and clear;
That you my friend
was never mine; never near.

You taught me many a things,
things I never thought I had in me:

The patience to wait,
The power to hold back,
The strength to set you free, and
The ability to love selflessly.

The past with you was a lesson;
good or bad, time has yet to decide.
As many a things are still left unlearned;
maybe that’s why you came back in my life.
