Perhaps the moon was never really blemished -
With the dark spots believed to be marring it's beauty.
Perhaps, it had always been our glances filled with apprehension,
With casting asides something that made it whole,
That we saw those spots as blemishes.

-

I do not really think
It's 'happily ever after'
That we actually look for.
We wander around,
Each in our own way -
To seek for love,
To love and be loved;
To feel safe, always -
And then we seek for a way
To have that comforting warmth,
Forever.

-

And despite of it all,
We all do long for
That tiny bit of home,
What feels like our home,
All for ourselves.
Even if it's
Just for a while.

-

How would it have been
To behold you each day -
Tucked into the warmth of my arms,
As I had, that day?
How would it have been
To gaze deep into your soul -
And embrace every fibre of your being,
As I had, that day?
How would it have been
To have you forever -
For me, as mine, with me?
But we never had been destined to be?

-

And perhaps some day,
I could find you within those distant stars.
Those same stars which we once
Used to gaze at, hands in hands.
Those same stars which you must be staring at,
In this moment.
But as I do stare at them
Waiting for the luster to strike my eyes,
I wonder if your eyes are glassy
With the moist sheen of memories -
Just as mine?

-

And sometimes I do wonder
If you miss my silence as much as
You miss my presence -
If you wonder about my unspoken words -
As I do about yours?
If you even cling on those last bits of memories, or -
Have you finally let me go?

-

That single, distant glance of you
Or was it a mirage -
A sweet sly conjuring
Of my own mind?
Have I finally lost it,
Or do I finally have you?

-

And those who were once
Scared of the silence,
And of its loud uproar,
Now find solace within it's confines.
An oddly comforting solace.

-

किसी रोज अगर आप
कसमों-वादों के लफ़ज़ो परे,
उनकी गहराइयाँ परखते,
तो शायद हमारी मुस्कुराहट मे छिपे
दर्द से वाक़िफ़ होते।

-

And someday, she knew -
It would certainly be
Some day -
When she would find it in herself
To hope again,
To fight for that hope again,
And to live for that hope again.
Some day.
