Returning From The Crossing

I never thought life would turn around,
To face the one I thought had left long ago,
To see you who brought me the feeling of first love around,
When we had been together for a short time, very long ago...

I had cherished the time spent with you each day,
Sitting with you for hours that passed too quickly,
Until our paths diverged and took us away,
And we too followed them quite blindly...

Today after so many years when we met,
It felt too good to be true again,
And no wonder my eyes got so wet,
As tears flowed abounter than the rain...

I lived again, although had been breathing for long,
The gaps of all the time closing in moments but a few,
I at last reckoned that I had been wrong,
I lamented that I should have always expressed my love to you...

I couldn't believe our lives had crossed this way,
And can't believe it till this moment too,
That when I said too you what I had always wanted to say,
You said you had always wanted to say that too...

I want to leave this crossing today,
Leaving you so that I could get back to the past,
So that I wouldn't have to leave you anyway,
Then today would never arrive so fast...

I really wish to return to those days again,

When our paths shared the same lane,

The time when there was happiness and no pain,

But I can't, and now nothing but memories remain...
