If I don't wake up tomorrow
The flowers won't change colour
Bees would still hover
Over them , the birds would still fly
And embrace the infinite vastness of the sky
Coffee would taste the same
I won't be around to take a sip , what a shame
The world would work with its same old break neck pace
Because looking back at a fallen runner is luxury in this race
For them the garden is still brightly shaded
But you feel that all the colours have faded
It is beautiful to it's admirers with or without a single flower
The void in heart only yours and the unconcluded tale ours
Who thought that eternity would be over in a breath
And we will lose our forever to death
But, when you think of me , please don't cry
Our stories are too sweet to be remembered with a sigh
Don't let tears blur your vision , or sorrow cloud your mind
Don't be silly honey ! Grief turned you blind
When the heady scent of wild jasmines fill the air
Smelling just like you lovingly weaved them in my hair
When you are in a car and our song plays
You stay back till it ends like good ole days
When you drop an old book and a note with familiar handwriting slips
As you read it a smile tugs the corner of your lips
When you read my favourite poems or prose
Or pressed between pages of diary you find a dried rose
You will see how laced in those memories I have remained
To live and love again and again
