Hand In Hand

By Anand Menda

Remember those days of your courtship

A beginning of a wonderful relationship

With love and happiness all around

With the new partner you have just found

Time always seemed to be fast flying

Departing from each other led to some crying

Those were the days for hours we sat on sand

Always cuddling with our hand in hand

Well the courtship had to end someday

Then came the most awaited wedding day

You got your licence to be together always

There was no need to listen to what anyone says

As the days progressed you got to the grind

Love was the last thing that was on your mind

Hand in hand you never held for a while

Stress had already sent your love to exile

Responsibility was the only thing you had

Not meeting up to expectations made you sad

Pleasing the world was your prime motive

Holding hands was an idea so primitive

Then came a point when you had no one

Except for your only dear and loved one

Stress had finally taken its toll on your body

You hardly could stand without the support of somebody

Now what was the option that you had on hand

But to fall back on the one you forgot to hold hand in hand

Now it is too late to mend ways or say sorry

For that's the person for whom you had the least worry

Now you get back to holding hand in hand

Now that on your feet you can hardly stand

Repenting is all that you can do for the missed time with love

Just to get what will not buy anything for you now
