Poetic Verses
I Knew It was You
It seems like just yesterday, we were just children
Running around naked, playing in mud puddles and in the rain
Sliding down those little inclines, bruising our knees
Shouting, crying loudly but enjoying the fun as we please
Also time and again, walking in the cane fields
Flying our kites, trying to catch the very strong breeze
Then later at night, after taking a bath before we sleep
Skin would be itching, as the water wet the leaf's marks on our feet.
Then those day especially on evening walking home from school
Not listening to the others, would always break the rule
We would run across the field, to be chased by the bull at times
Though dangerous, we were carefress and had only fun on the minds.
As teenagers, somehow we took a diferent course.
It seems like a marriage, that had suffered a divorce
As you approach being a young lady, and I a young man
Those little moments of apprehension I could understand.
That moment when you said that you are going away
To me that was one of my hardest and saddest days
Knowing how I could always count on your support as a friend
And you too trusted me, telling you innermost secrets and problems.
Later before I watched the plane took to the skies
My heart was heavy, as I said my many goodbyes.
Why did i not express my feelings about her in person
One sees body language, but prefer that verbal dispensation.
Time went by, life went on, but sometimes they both play a master's hand.
I had to relutantly take a business trip to a far away land
As I sat in the hotel's lobby, thinking about what i should do
A soft voice whispered my name. the way it was called, I knew it was you.
