The Unforgettable

You passed by me as swift as wind

 

You touched me like wind swaying over the flower petals

 

You embraced me so tight as if the loved one does

 

You hold my hand though for a while, but it seemed I never lost the warmth

 

I felt as if the warmth of sun kissed me

 

As if the clean water of the sea swept over cleaning my feet

 

As if the wind was playing the rhythm of joy

 

As if the birds were singing to celebrate the moment

 

I closed my eyes so that I could capture the moment forever

 

I hold my breath so that it does not get exhaled

 

I crossed my fingers so that the lucky moment remained with me always

 

I pinched myself to make me believe that it is reality

 

The moment was so special that every second worth infinity.

 

With every moment passing by I wished it could last till eternity

 

I stood there like a statue speechless

 

Anyone who had seen me at that time would laugh over my mindlessness

 

I fell on earth as suddenly it vanished

 

I held my fist tightly so that it may not perish

 

My legs lost the strength to get up

 

My hands were shaking and fingers fumbling to hold myself up

 

It was the moment, which was unforgettable one

 

Not only was the moment special but all that was present there with me

 

Not only did it change me, but it remains like my shadow with me

 

Not only was I spellbound but the magic always remains around me

 

Not only did I lose myself after that, but I lost never to find again myself

 

I wish I could just find out who it was

 

That unforgettable one

 

I wish I could meet him again if only once

 

That who always remains in my dreams

 

I wish I had never let him go

 

That who cannot be found again

 

Was that God or someone else?

 

Was that an earthly creature or someone out of world?

 

Was that an imagination or reality?

 

Whoever that was, it was undoubtedly an unforgettable one.
