Are you upto an honest reply,
Will you be bold and give reasons,
For your decision to expunge the days gone by,

Your unwavering stand,
Resolute as the light house,
At the edge of the sea and sand,
Unwilling to dwell on the gems,
Of memories flowing by,

Like frenzied rivulets kissing passing stems,
Your resistance baffles me,
Precious moments erased,
On a whim disguised as a mystery,

Take a moment my dear,
Reflect on the rainbow days,
Of our love without fear,
Relive the dreams of engaged nights,
Entangled in the mist of passion,
Under the slivers of the passing lights,

Dwell on the moments spent together,
Echoing meaningless murmurs,
That were meant to last forever,
Alas! Your steps lead you away,
Leaving questions without answers,

In your callous wake,
I beseech you, my love,
For an honest reply,
Releasing me like a white dove,
Touching the sky.
