The Little Moments

akn 2006 (New Delhi)



"It's what matters,

the little moments", you had said.

Now I'm alone

With the mere memories of you inside my head.

Perhaps, it was better when I didn't pay no heed

to your words, to your deeds,

but looking back, a second in your presence alone

was worth more than this agonizing tone

I hear, I see

All around me.

Now, the yearning is all I know,

I wonder how far would I need to go

Do you wonder if we'll look again in the eye?

Do you think the little moment would be worth a try?

Was the cruel play of fate behind this all?

Won't we cross paths again this fall?

Would you still remember me?

Or would I be the little moment you forgot?
