You say hello and u look straight into my eye
You seem familiar and I wonder why?
You ask me how I am and if life has been good
I want to answer but I don’t know if I should.
You hold my hand and you ask me to sit for a while
You bring back old memories and you make me smile
You talk of people who seem so distant and far
I still sit here wondering.. who you are
You say you need to go, but I want you to stay,
You say you cant, you need to go away,
You say “Sweets … I too wish that this moment could last ….
But I need to leave, as I am your past “
“It’s the present you need to go with coz I will take you nowhere
I am what you were, but it’s a different journey from now on and here “
Clinging to me will not help, you need to get off the hook..
But whenever your present makes you lonely, you know where to look …..”
This is an all around good poem. The writing and the rhythm are very good and the subject is also very mature.
