Crystals Of Change...

I remember the days when,

You took me into your arms,
Kissed my forehead everynight.
Staying awake till I dozed off to sleep.
You woke up before sunrise,
Only to see if I am safe and sound.
Waiting to hear the bed spring bounce,
Embracing me to feel my warmth.
                 .
Days passed ; years rolled by,
Aloof and cold we felt.
The changes within us,
Caused distance within us.
We both stayed under the same roof,
Like strangers down the lane;
Sharing nothing in common,
Staring at eachother everyday.
                  .
Our wavelength no more matched,
Our likes were poles apart.
Pretending to enjoy each others company;
We stayed under the same roof.
The walls spoke about our differences,
The roof spoke about our distance.
Silently bearing we patiently stood,
Under the same roof.
                .
I noticed you were let down,
But never came out with words.

Your expressions translated your inner feeling.

Yet I could'nt comfort you,

It being no more my job.

There I stood standstill,

Experiencing the same feeling within.

                 .

"I am grown up" thats the fact.

I moved with the change.

But felt helpless;

As I watched your emotions stuck

"Pls grow up appa" I whispered;

As I moved away,

              .

It was the hard way,

But the only way.
