My Pole Star Poem by Gagan Khurana

When you smile, my world lights up.

You carry sunshine with you, and it spills quietly into the lives of those lucky enough to be near.

Not a single morning breaks without you in my thoughts and not a night falls without your memory resting beside me.

You live there now, quietly, like a tune one hums without knowing.

The time we spent together in Gurgaon those simple, golden hours, they are my most treasured memories.

I return to them often, like an old man returns to the view from his childhood window.

And still, I wait. I wait for your phone calls, for the chime of your name lighting up my screen.

When you text me, the world around me disappears. The noise, the work, the worries, all gone in a moment.

And your messages, oh, how they disarm me.

One simple text from you, and I lose track of time, of duty, of everything else.

Your hug is my holy grail something sacred, something rare.

And your absence, your absence stings in places no one sees, like a tear that never reaches the eyes.

You are the brightest star from the days I miss most,
still glowing in the twilight of my thoughts.

Thank you for being there,

There is only one you,

And there will never be another.







With all my heart,
Gagan Khurana
