Deep in mind

You are still there deep in mind
How much happiness I still find?
It is providing me energy with boost
I have believed in it all the times with trust

Were we not kids then?
Intimate and very close even
You were always crying to be in my home
My mom had always you welcome

Those funny memories sadden me
Whenever I get little time to be free
I venture into untold feelings
You were always for me and came as willing

No one objected to our close friendship
As it was blossoming for companionship
You were always standing there in door way
With eagerness in eyes and leaving no door away

We were growing in with time
Had all promises made with faith sometimes
But o, cruel death you took her over
I was left behind with no more cover

It had great impact on little mind
Where else was to go and find?
Her love was sacrificial and unique
I was threatened with and untimely struck

The nights were proving very much difficult
Crescent moon will remind me with insult
Look, your beloved love is our queen now
Forget her all the time but don't try for her any how

Same was her association with me as child
She had all the qualities of humble woman and behaved very kind
No one could take her place thereafter
I was to marry unwillingly many years later

She comes on many times with moon image
I get disturbed easily and unable to manage
She consoles me with silvery moon light
Advises me to control with conscience and prefer what is right
