Reminiscing

by Venkatesh - Aquarius

As  I  sit  down  here , 
Motionless  on  the  soft  sofa  couch ,
Multitude  of  thoughts  float  in  my  mind , 
Thoughts  of  when  we  were  together , 

I  pay  close  attention , 
To  the  sounds  outside ,
The  playfulness  of  the  children , 
Reminding  me  of  the  same  playfulness , 
That  we  as  adults  experienced , 

As  I  sit  down  here , 
Watching  the  woman  on  the  tele ,
She  reminds  me  of  you , 
Reminding  me  that  I  was  missing , 
Missing  an  Angel , 

Reminding  me , 
Of  how  we  had  great  times , 
And  the  happiness , 
That  filled  my  heart , 
When  we  were  together , 
Now  turns  to  sadness  and  surrow , 
Having  lost  an  Angel , 

As  I  sit  down  here , 
Writing  these  verses , 
Verses  that  portray  your  beauty , 
Your  laughter  fills  my  ears ,
A  laughter  that  is  missed  so  much , 

As  I  sit  down  here , 
I  try  to  forget  you , 
Why  you  ask ? Why , 
The  answer  is  painful , 
As  is  our  separation , 

When  I  think  of  you , 
My heart  is  struck , 
With  an  arrow ,
And  the  pain  flows  in  me , 

Pain  of  having  missed  you , 
But  I  cannot  help  it , 
Sweet  memories  of  you ,
And  our  existence  together ,
Always  rush  into  my  mind , 
Sending  shivers  up  my  spine. 

Reason for writing:

    This  i  wrote  after  i  moved  here  to  kilkenny . After  I  moved  here  there  was  this  girl  I  met . I  was  friends  with  her  for  some  2  years  and  still  am . She  lived  45  mins  away  but  she  came  to  kilkenny  here  in  Ireland  every  two  weekends  or  so .I  grew  to  like  her.I  made  my  mind  to  ask  her  to  go  out  with  me  one  weekend . However  I   couldn't  do  it . I  dunno  know why , i  tried  my  best , i  gave  her  indirect  small  hints  but  she  thought  i  was  playing  around  with  her  as  a  friend . She  never  thought  i  was  so  serious . She  then  left  to  go  back to  her  home .One  week  later  i  called  her  to  see  if  she  was  coming  that weekend . She said  no  cause  she  just  got  a new  boyfriend  to  my  sadness . She  said  she was  gonna  spend  the  weekend  with  him . I  was  too  late . Now  she  has  not  come  to  visit  me  in  about  6  months . However  I still  call  her . Everytime  though  she  brings  up  her  boyfriend  which  then  fills  me  with  some  pain . People  reading  this  might  think  this  is  a  love  poem  and  that  maybe  it  was  written  by  someone  who  was  in  a  relationship . Yes  this  is  a  love  poem  but  it  is  the love  i  had  for  this  girl  as  a  friend  and  even  more . It  shows  that  after  some  years , I  still  have  the  love  for  her  that  i had  before. It  shows  the  great  times  we  had  as  friends  and  yet  I   would  think  we  were  lovers  with  all  those  great  times .
