Down The Memory Lane Poem by Pushyami Vemulapalli

I Remember the day very well
I had been excited all week long
I was about to meet my friends
Its been two years
But the memories are still fresh to me

There were simple stories of love,
Stories of enduring friendships,
Stories of crazy fights, silly quarrels,
Complex trysts of destiny that make up life,
But this is all what makes it so special
And worth waiting for

From initial excitement to elation,
Waiting to contentment, anticipation
I experienced an entire range of emotions
Finally the much awaited day
Was about to dawn on me

I laid restless on my bed
I tossed and turned
And tried my best to sleep
But thoughts would not leave me alone
They have piled up into a huge heap

These thoughts kept my spirits up
Many days passed by unnoticed
But this one day seemed almost impossible
And I felt it would never end
I was wide awake the whole night

Deep inside I was also afraid
That all these plans might
Go for a toss and I would not meet them
I was even afraid of those thoughts
Such was my eagerness, anticipation and expectation..

I tried to speak my heart out
And I am eagerly waiting for tomorrow to come....
