You Remain...

I thought,

you would go away

like an occasional pain…

not leaving

even a feeling of loss

or of gain,

but beyond my expectations

you remain.

You remain; and

intensely you remain.

I thought,

you would fly away

like an unseasonal cloud

or an unexpected heavy rain

but

you remain,

stronger than ever; you remain.

With each passing day

I assume,

may be, the next day

you would move out

but like a life carrying vein,

deep inside my heart

you remain.

Contrary to my thoughts

with each passing day

more strongly you reign

Time changes; seasons change

but yet you remain.

Days pass and nights are spent

flowers blossom and whither,

and with each escaping moment

you put me into a stronger chain;

unbreakable like your love,

And like a heartbeat,

safely in my heart…

You remain!!
