Wish You Were Here

The night feels cold,
As the wind blows through.
A friend walks on,
As he misses you.
The echoes of laughter
Ring in his ear,
All he wants to say is
WISH YOU WERE HERE!

Scorching sun and hot tarmac,
A crazy lady and a mad fellow,
On the run, under the blaze
Passing by field of grass turned yellow.
He misses you in the run to shade
And the warm hand of someone dear
All that spills out is
WISH YOU WERE HERE!

He also misses a lot
Those days of rain;
He’d run along all drenched to you,
And all his sorrows would drain.
Dark clouds gather once more,
Raining memories and a lot of cheer.
All that slips past him is -
WISH YOU WERE HERE!

And now its time
For new leaves to open.
Springing with freshness,
And feeling love stricken.
Amidst the mild chill and poetry,
Your absence brings an unknown fear.
And in fear he stutters
WISH YOU WERE HERE!

Seasons passed up,
Days went by,
I let myself loose,
And flew sky high.
In every emotion,
I kept saying all long year,
As I say it once more,
WISH YOU WERE HERE!

hmmm..may be its my present state of mind where i can feel only Nostalgic..to this piece i can relate to, much... with every lines, you carried me to a phase of my life which was special in its own way...where life didnt restrain one from walking miles in the scorching heat, there were no worries about walking aroud in a drenched dress...having said all that, its not that certain things from the past cannot be repeated, its just that..with certain change creeping in, the outlook changed, situations changed..may be it appeared as a compulsion and i took it just that way..i didnt see the options around..i kept on walking missing it and speaking about it..for good may be..had there been nothing like this..i wouldn't have got to read this amazing piece.. Beautiful be the word for this.. :)

Did I read it somewhere else ? Did you shared this one with me earlier ? I don't know for some reason I felt I have read it. And if I have, I must have told you this is beautiful.
I guess, we all have those times in our lives which are fondly called 'Good old days' ... this one just reminded me of mine :)

@ Supriya - Nostalgia... the frivolities of days gone by, the lack of reason and the need for it... add to that a person sharing the emotion. That was the gist of it!! :) Am glad you liked it!!
@ Devesh - It was there on facebook notes and you did happen to comment there too!! Thanks again!!

You indeed have succeeded in keeping your blog simple and clear:)

This is something which i guess everyone must have experienced at least once...
Good stuff!

@Vidu - Nostalgia and seasons are very common companions! (puns intended)
Thanks a ton! Good to find an ardent reader in you!
