NAGGING PAIN

NAGGING PAIN


One day you entered my life,
Earth became a heaven.
Your love sprinkled water on
My life, dry and barren.

But then you were gone as if
We knew not each other;
As if we had never met,
Nor, exchanged a whisper.

You left like a caravan
In sand, without a trail;
Or, a dream to remember
Which one is bound to fail.

All that is now in the past,
But, wherever you be;
I only wish that your life
May always be happy.

I shall, as long as I live,
Harbor this nagging pain:
Losing you, what did I lose?
In love what did I gain?
