SOMETHING I LOOK AT-456
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

Are You Still in Love with Me

Are you still in love with me,
or moved ahead, leaving me—
my emotions and feelings far behind?
Believe me, my love,
when you entered my heart,
it closed forever—
not only for this birth, but many yet to start.

As and when I come,
I will come with your memory.
My love will find you;
I will fall for you again and again.
You may or may not reciprocate,
but my love for you will never fade.

I do not want Nirvana,
nor ever dare to move away from you.
I will live with a desire
that drags me to your world—
to be with you again and again.

Hope, in some birth,
I will hold your hand,
place my heart upon your palm—
my years of love and longing,
my tears, my shattered dreams—
before my princess
without whom I never lived,
I never lived

And if love is life's only truth,
I will keep dying to live for you again.
I will drink my frustration and agony
till there is time—
to live fully, maybe for a while.
