You wished i was around..!

No matter how much the distance separates

And though our accord has surpassed the lease

Of all the times you wash your clothes alone

And end up putting in the washing powder less

I would like to believe & make peace

That you wish, I was around

I know you thought of time being wrong

You were more unsure than you could be strong

The better things in your life have taken a toll over me

But of all the times when you sit down tired

Walk towards the kitchen to make your coffee

I would like to believe & make peace

That you wish, I was around

Of all our pictures on facebook

When you would maintain the count of likes

Today when I am no more there in them

Though someone else is

While you hold her waist and get done a click

Something from those memories would hound
I would like to believe & make peace

That you wish, I was around

In the cold winter afternoon

When the blanket comes off

And the cold hits your bare feet

And you would lay there thinking I will envelope you

But while you lay alone, with a bare bosom

I would like to believe & make peace

That you wish, I was around

When you drive down home from work

And pick your phone to dial a number

There seems nobody you want to talk to

And with tsunamis in your eyes you struggle

Put the phone at bay and look at the watch

It reminds you of the times you said

“This promises a great day, so when with you

This is what I would put on”

Choked you look outside in thin air

I would like to believe & make peace

That you wished, I was around

Our favourite songs, our favourite movies

The places we would visit

The American chop suey

The Friends on star world

The in numerous pictures

Everything whenever you would try to shun

I would like to believe & make peace

That you wish, I was around

Today when you text and tell me things

Of how things are moving and how occupied things were

I hold back my tears and act all good

And show no sign of despair

I only keep praying for your success

No matter you aren’t there

I still hope against the hope

That the day things will settle

And you achieve by leaps and bounds

The toast that you raise to celebrate

Will seem garbled and half-done

I would like to believe & make peace

That you wish, I was around
