Off Line Message Poem by Afzal Shauq

Hey you..!
You know the one
who is supposed to be
your second half,
How come?
I asked the one
who was faceless
even to herself
But
it was her
who kept emphasizing
these same words
with dream like
sweet echo..
and when
the very next morning
I got up
with some mixed feelings
The first thing
I saw in the mirror was
a strange
but very pretty girl,
who kept drawing her facial features
with the creases of
my time worn hands
While
the second thing
which has
trapped me
in a series of thoughts..
was the same
dreamy sentence
Which was amazingly
left by that very same HER
as an 'off line Message'
on the net..................
