AT SOME OTHER BEND OF LIFE

At some other bend of life
For some other reason unknown
There’s always someone waiting
In search of someone else
Those whom we had left behind
Come back with a new cause
Those whom we promised not to think of
Come back with a new thought

Struggle was the fate of our Love
We knew when we exchanged the vows
Then, for what were we afraid that night?
With the highs, assured were the lows
We parted our ways, never to meet again
Then, why you crossed my path tonight
And brought in memories I thought I forgot?

I met someone in the meanwhile, you know
Someone who loved me with all her soul
She never asked me questions about you
She knew I was still in love with you
Slowly, I started falling for her
Her smile, her silence, her charm
Her pristine face, her nature so warm
But there were things that stayed unsaid
She never demanded an answer for me
But I owed her everything that possibly could be

Then, one day when I was away
Busy with my work, promising to come back
And tell everything my heart wanted to say
I got a call and someone told me
She has left, never to return our way
I failed again, stood shattered all alone
Promised never to fall in love again
Stay alive with her memories to pain
All my heart and my soul

But, then you came back, and shook me up
Gave a cause to live again, to love again
There was a corner in my heart
Which always secretly wanted you back
But I knew this was not I wanted
Neither something my life warranted
Today, when I think of being with you
Am I betraying the memories of her?
When I meet her in my next life
Will she be angry with me for this?

I don’t have her to answer my queries
So, I am putting this question to you
I want your answer before we move ahead
Before we make our dreams come true
Would you have done this had you been me?
 
At this bend of life, by the twist of fate
We have met again, though years too late
 
This is a fictional poem. No resemblance to my life :). I hope you guys like it. Souvik.
