The wait


the empty streets
the cold night
a restless heart
a worried mind

eve growing darker
people hurrying home
street lights on
and I'm standing alone

chilled breeze blew
a shiver shook me
hungry eyes raised
but I kept standing

stretched my eyes
to the ends of the road
strangers walked by
but I don't see you

 emptiness filled around
my heart raced
at every sound

 by the pavement 
below the lamp
for a while I then sat
nothing seemed known
even my shadow estranged
no one to accompany me
except the lonely time
time moved on 
but I stood still
waiting in the dark
here for you to be 

 I told you I'll wait
no matter how long
by heart I started
our love song

 the song of promise
the words of faith
the verses of holding each other
no matter how long be the wait
"I'll always wait"

Neither she needs to talk nor listens anything. I am just fed up of her. Tonight I got to talk to her anyway”, Mom determines to have a talk with her. On her way Neeta’s mind are kept occupied by the things Mom talked to her the day before. They had a serious talk about Neeta’s marriage and she was opposing it. The day before “What did you think about the proposal that I had for you?” mom asked Neeta. “Which one mom?” Neeta tries to act innocent. “Did you see the photo? Do you have anything to ask about it?” mom kept on questioning her. “Maa I am not thinking about it at all and I don’t want to talk about it too. I have told you earlier I don’t want to get married now”, Neeta’s rejection was strong. “Who have asked you to get married now? I just want you to meet the boy. You two c
