12 Months of Love

A Poem

Another year has passed, And what a year it was. 1st January was a sad day, And 6th Feb was the worst. 11 months of agony, And what a pain it was. No sight of the beloved, When I still had two eyes. No sound of her, While I was still able to listen. No way to feel the happiness, And what a feeling it was.

First day saw me as an optimist, With every day passing, I became the realist. Yet I couldn’t realize, The fiction of love, And what a fiction it was.

Last year, this time, I longed for you. To be with me, For all the years to come, To the eternity, And what a longing it was.

Though, I was happy at times, Leaving the past behind. But I cried and morn more, Then one day it stopped, When I witnessed that face, And what a sight it was.

A glimpse of those eyes, A whisper of that voice, An echo of that smile, A smell of those hair, Suffering faded away, And what an ending it was.
