I Wish....

I Wish....

When the nights are too long and my friends are, but, few,

When life is nothing but just a sad song,

I sit by my window and I think of nothing, but you,

Till the darkness inside has gone....

A silent whisper, a silent tear,

Memories of you swirl in my head,

With all my heart I wish you were here,

As I lay down alone on my bed..

I wish you were here so I could forget my past,

I wish you were close to me,

I wish I could make all those beautiful moments last,

I wish we were One till all eternity.

I wish dreams were like wishes; the ones that come true,

'Cause in my dreams I'm always with you,

I wish everything was still like it used to be,

I wish I could hold you in my arms peacefully...

I wish I could better things and right all the wrongs,

Put glowing hope within your heart,

I wish I could sing you your favourite songs,

I wish we could have a fresh start...

I wish I could wipe the tears from the corner of your eyes,

Exchange my happiness for your sorrow,

I wish I could make you happy; paying any price,

I wish I could gift you a better Tomorrow.

I wish I could shift all these grey clouds aside,

To reveal the shining stars above,

I wish you needed me to be by your side,

Once again, to be happily back in love!

I wish I could do something that would put a smile on your face,

I wish to hold you should you want to cry,

I wish I could rewind Time back to those nostalgic days,

When huddled up together, we both would lie..

I wish I could do all these things for you,

I wish you hadn't gone so far away,

Nothing can make me forget, but there's nothing I can do,

I must just think of you and silently pray...

I wish, with me, I could have made you stay

The day, you just get up and leave,

Breaking my heart, leaving me to find my own way,

In the darkness must I now grieve.......

Memories

Memories...

Everyone's life is composed of moments good and bad,

And times of pain & sorrow;

Still, hope and joy gush forth at times,

Making people rejoice like there's no 'morrow.

Countless events add up during one's life,

All vivid; a multicoloured hue;

Some moments of happiness; some moments of strife,

All weaving seamlessly, making our lives true!

For some, memories might not mean much,

Their lives, bitterly, has come to pass.

For others, this isn't true, their way is such,

Golden memories are a wealth they have amassed.

Some memories hit us, like raindrops against a window pane,

Memories always remain with us, nothing can take them away,

Some beautiful ones we reminisce, time and again;

They come easily to us when we need them most, they're just a thought away!

The first day in college, the first time on a bike,

The pranks and the laughs & all the mischievous fun;

All the good memories with near and dear ones alike,

Such moments in life, they will never be undone!

Of the falls and the injuries and all the pain that comes along,

Everyone has their share of memories both good and bad,

These are inevitable; part of life's lessons to make one strong,

They make life worth living; be it however sad!

For in one's life, memories are the only door to the future,

And they are the windows to the past,

Some memories are hazy; they quickly disappear;

While other beautiful memories will, for ever, last!

Memories re-unite us with forgotten places and things,

They bring smiles & laughter; happiness & joy;

Words cannot express the joy which a happy memory brings,

They bring satisfaction to our hearts like a baby receiving its first toy!

So we must always be good and do good to all around us,

Then life will pass smoothly, like a sweet song,

Golden memories must we create and spread everywhere,

For Happy & Fond Memories are all that we'll take along!
