when we walked that lane together...

All my days are spent, wondering along
The lanes and by lanes of our lives
In joviality and melancholy, happy and forlorn
Knowing that right is right and left is wrong

Watched people from far and watched them from near
Learnt that it’s futile to peep in the rear
Ahead ahead and ahead, one had to go
There was no place for doubt or for any fear

I always heard that there was a right time
When the bells would swing and chime
And I would know it all in a flash
That the world was all there and it is all mine

Never quite believed it, let people say
Things never looked awful, coming my way
I held mine and they held theirs
Till it so happened on a very fine day

That I met him, can’t explain how
When, where and why, you needn’t know
Days spent with him are no less than like
Sitting at the window, enjoying falling snow

I call him different names, don’t know what you’d call
He is my friend, my comrade and my hero
Hadn’t learnt enough words to illustrate him
So I settled to call him my angel, neither a fancy nor any whim

Sitting in respective quarters, we toured the earth
Dreams and more dreams, there seemed no dearth
Joy, happiness and love has filled the air
They say na… in love and war all is so fair.

From the mountains of Alps to the canal waters of India
From temples of Chidambaram to wild forests of Amazonia
We have been there numerous times, no matter the place
The love liberates us from the shackles of time and space

Though he has left sometime ago, I can still feel him around
He still lives somewhere close and brings me joys abound
The love for Him, was never the usual one, couldn’t define
Trust me Oh my friend, in worldly matters we are not confined!!
