AH! PROMISES..

When, sitting in college, I got frustrated at the immediate loneliness and anonymity, I wrote it for my school friends… If only I could ever grow out of them!

I know I should move on,

I promised you, I know;

And I have tried to blend in here...

Nothing seems to work, though.

At times like these, when we people sit

And smile and charm our ways through,

Some words, some melodies trigger off

The locked up memories of you.

I seem to go in a trance,

And you are again with me.

We laugh, we sigh; my dreams

Take over my reality.

The people here call my name,

Beginning to like my company.

But I steal a few moments for you…

I never promised myself, you see!
