Laughters echo
in a long lost day
A voice quiet and low,
heard so far away
Takes me down a path
threaded by me alone
A path now dead and dry,
since you have really gone…
The sun shines the same,
the way it did that morn..
Day you went and came,
in a sealed box alone
Sighs take me back
to days of jokes and tricks
Teachers scowling back,
hands on their sticks!
Still it is a mystery,
how did you manage?
When I forgot ‘goodbye’,
anger played on stage
How can you leave so,
you dare do this to me?
Wish my rage burnt more,
but inside it’s all empty…
Can’t you come back my mate?
My tears aren’t drying cold
Give a good shake and laugh at me
for being a ‘girl’, I’ll scold
Nothing will be the same,
now I know what “goodbye” says
I’ll never forget what you taught me,
without looking at my face
