Few Moments and A Lifetime
How does it feel to know
someone for a few years
But that feels like a
lifetime
Or feels like generations
rolled into one; sometimes even births
As if chasing one another
through various births, only to catch up in this time and world.
13 years of knowing you
and you surprise me still.
I’m not one for
particulars, can’t remember words, deeds or actions much
Wouldn’t know the change
in the contours of your face or the shape of your muscles
From one day to another,
quite unlike you.
That doesn’t trouble me
on any given day
But sometimes I wish I
could pick up images and memories
Manually checking and
remembering the time
When you made me realize
the purpose of my life.
A life’s worth of
experiences and lessons you have taught me
A lifetime of knowing you
may not adequate
In showcasing your many
wonderful facets
Which to this day doesn’t
fail to surprise me.
It hasn’t all been roses
and sunshine, you know
There have been the
thorns with the roses and
The harshness of the sun
sometimes blinding
Reason, love and a chance
for simple togetherness.
But we have been going on
as if we have just met
As if these memories are
only now getting made.
As if our souls are only
just catching up
After generations of
chasing each other.
All those years of
forgotten memories and moments
May make for a wonderful
reminiscing,
But may never be able to
substitute
The very memories we are
creating now.
Happy birthday S!
As ever, thank you for
giving me the some of the best moments of my life.
