Memories Poem by Vinod Madyalkar

That empty classroom makes me think..
Four years have passed within a blink...

Only yesterday it seems that we were here...
Laughing around with friends so dear...

Suddenly my life has come to a stall...
And I wonder, is this all? ?

This feeling of emptiness sinks into my heart..
A large chunk of my life's been ripped apart...

From within this abyss of loneliness, emanates a tear..
Shed for the person, who seemed so near...

How can I believe? , how can I forget?
All those unsaid things fill me with regret..

Amongst those tears, amidst the pain..
(I wonder) will my life ever be the same? ? ? ..

I wish this was a dream, I wish this wasnt real...
How can I tell you, how I really feel...

Years later, all that will be left behind..
Is a bunch of memories refusing to let go of my mind...

Yet somehow, someday our paths will cross...
And we will wish that moment would never pass...
