If I Could…

I still remember the day when
I was utterly broken
A part of me was screaming inside
A part of me was “unspoken”.
That pain was peculiar, I bet.
If I could, I would try to forget.
With shuddering lips, I said “I love her”
“How can she do this to me??”
Friends said “Indeed.
Alas! She couldn't see”.
Anger, fear, tears, everything was killing.
If I could, I would channelize those feelings.
Whining voice, pale face,
A terrible situation I had been.
Haunched shoulder & wet eyes,
Only close friends had seen.
“Falling in Love” actually became a fall.
If I could, I would never recall.
I knew, it will happen one day
But it happened too soon.
The pain of separation was so fierce
that ‘The Castle of Love’ demolished into dune.
Yes I forgot that
the beautiful ‘moon’ controls the sea tide.
If I could, I would never walk alongside.
For days, I wept
reading her old letters.
Friends said “Don't be disheartened.
You deserve better.”
It was too hard to accept that she is gone.
If I could, I would try to move on.
“Gloomy eyes & Sleepless nights”
I was going through it.
“It wouldn't be easy to let her go”
Everybody knew it.
It will take time to have a new start.
If I could, I would open up my heart.
It would be very tough
at my side to trust.
How can I forget her,
First love will always be the First.
But one day,
I will accept, smile, laugh & rise above again.
If I could, I would fall in love again.
