I Departed And You Kept Dreaming Poem by Piyush Dey

When you far sat in that room where
happiness and pain merges one,
I came to see you off, for i had to
go then, i had to move on, and do you
know? - in that room where you sat with
your head tilted over the window, lost in
my thoughts, i had cried long enough to
have the time even stop for a moment,
there in one corner, i had waited for you, i
had waited for you to wake up and embrace me
one last time in your tender arms and cry
with me for a moment too, but you kept
sleeping and i kept watching you; you kept
thinking of the things that would never happen
and i kept thinking of the things that
happened long ago and at sometime i also
saw a glimmer of smile in your lips, maybe-
i had been with you at that moment,
time passed by stealthily taking with it
some more moments of delay but finally-
i had to get up and kiss you one last time
and promise to come back again, now-
i am among the stars and you still there
lying and dreaming of the uncertain things,
i wish you never wake, but keep smiling
like that forever, and even if you wake up
i wish you don't cry when you don't find
me there in that room but you will know
that i had come there when you were slept
far abode for i left a tiny flower of
love upon your lips.
