Lost Love Poem by Adhitiyaa Elango

That night you left me
And went far, far away…
Hoped you'd come, to work this through
And that we could find some way …

I would stay awake every night
Just to watch the moon cross the sky…
Hoping she would come down one night
Just like the night she left me standing by…

I kept waiting, waiting and waiting;
Every night on the roof tops…
Hoping you'd be doing the same;
Until I was covered up, next morning, with dew drops…

Like the waves, washing away the shore…
Like the winds, blowing away the dune;
Time did what it does best,
To make us forget and to prune…

It was hard in the beginning;
I did what I had to…
Uprooting every memory from within,
Let it be, I let it go…

I moved on and finally got you
Out of my heart and brain…
I was filled with happiness and joy;
There was cake and sunshine once again.
