A new beginning...

Lonely, lost and hurt,

Bruised and battered,

Looking back at the days

When all my dreams were shattered.

The shadows of the past

Haunting my dreams,

Even breathing had become difficult

And not so easy at it seemed.

Running from the truth,

Hiding from all that hurts,

Trying my very best

To control the tears and not to burst.

All hopes lost and gone

All I am was left alone

What mattered now did not exist,

What existed was all forlorn,

What had become of me?

What did I ever do to see?

All this in my life with

The dejected feelings.

The long lost feelings were now back

The rejection was all I had.

And then one fine day

A smile came my way,

Lift up my spirits

And swept me away.

The sun was suddenly so bright

The clouds parted their ways

There was a shadow haunting my past

But the present had a better promise today.

At times a smile is all you need

A hug is all you can feel

A pat on the back to motivate

A friend to never let you leave.

I remember not when I felt like this,

Your smile, the hug and your kiss,

Your touch, the warmth and I remember

Those soft and steady heart beats.

All this remind me of how I had forgotten,

To live my life and to believe.

You give me a reason to feel

Your love and your care

And makes life a lot more simpler

Just to be myself and to live.

I know not how to thank

Confused about the logical trend

Yet I believe in what has begun

And I hope it never sees an end.
