My Escaping Mind

Love and longing

I found my mind escaping,

When I think of you.

I found my mind time traveling,

When I recalled our first meeting,

Was it a coincidence?

Or you were searching for me.

Was I too strict on you?

Or you were finding you.

If it was a flow,

Then, what made you so slow.

Find your answers,

And find it acceptable,

Because that is what a scientist does,

If you are bewildered by my question,

You are allowed to counter-question.

If it still perplexes you,

Then boy! find a clue,

Wear some blue,

And look for the hue.

I know it is hard to be apart,

And it is just the start,

Follow me,

And be rescued behind,

My escaping mind.
