Why Do I Think Of You ? Poem by RAVIKIRAN ARAKKAL

It is twenty years,
Since we met last time,
we spoke very little
To each other,
Keeping some hidden
Emotion of liking,
You left marrying in thirtes,
I marrying earlier,
Due to your silence
To my advances,
Which I could not decifer,
But, yet I don't know,
Why you linger almost daily,
Why did not forgettfullness
Overcome your presence,
Your nearness to me,
Why do I think of You at all?
