...is the longest ever I've experienced.
It feels like you've gone for decades & you're not coming back.
I could barely carve your picture on
the canvas of my heart but suddenly..
Suddenly, the time comes when you've to leave.
Leaving me alone, longing for you, waiting
for you to come back soon.

It's when I realize how precious you're,
how much I love you & what it feels like
losing you even for a while.
The time when we're talking to each other
flies like a spaceship leaving the earth.
While the time when we don't, elapses like
watching a snail trying to go round the earth.

Sometimes, I wish I could stand against
the hands of clock & would try to stop
seconds, minutes or atleast hours when
we're together.
And when I would succeed, I would live
my whole lofe in that moment watching your beautiful face & forgetting all my anxieties and sorrows.

So, when you're not around, I chant your name like some devotee chanting
mantras & trying to call for his/her god,
longing for his presence.
All I think and talk about is "YOU" during the time
WHEN WE DON'T TALK.
So the time when we don't talk I think about the time when we talk a lot... That's how my time and my days are spent...
