If only these lifeless letters

It has been a while that we’ve met

And, all my attempts

To get in touch with you

Went in vain

Unsure, if we would meet ever again

While we walk on this green earth?

This wasn’t the way I had dreamt

Of us

But then, the law of nature has its

Own unique way

But, I know you love me

Even at this darkest hour of the day

Remember love?

I had narrated to you this day of ours

Before we walked down the aisle

That it isn’t going to be a bed of roses

This is how we began our life

Don’t you remember?

This is how we began our journey
Of two-getherness

If only these lifeless letters

Could bring back to you

Those memories … of us

Which we’d woven together

Things wouldn’t be then

The same as it is now…

If only these lifeless letters…
