No Longer Present

When you, once deeply in love,
Are all by yourself,
And have, besides you, your past

Along with some old memories
And a few songs
That had then become your ballads...

And when you,come across someone,
Equally disoriented in their Lost love,
Sharing their similar past experiences
With You,

And when you realise they had lived
Those moments with the same Intensity
And a purposeful sense
Of staying rooted to their adored loss,

It reminds you of yours,
It shakes you from within,
And you start re-living
Your extinct past again
Together with their recent past

The sharing of the flow of emotions
Becomes a complete, rounded conversation.
You witness a resonating echo
Of voices of your heart from theirs
Without having uttered A Word!

And when you discover,
In those conversations,
A possible future
And discovery of reinvention of yourself,
You realise
Together...

That You still have some life left within you,
And it is beautiful, probably more,
Than your rich past.

The absence of your past
Is fading and doesn't matter.
The presence of your future
Is blurred but felt very strongly.

You re-live a dream
And a beautiful one at that,
Although both - the past & future,
Are no longer present.
