Reminiscence

Silently she sits near the window

Gazing at the setting sun

The color of the clouds seem to share her feelings

So gloomy and sad and looks as if it cries silently.

And I begin to think of yesteryears

When we are still together

Building our air castles

So full of hopes and dreams, full of laughter as if the day would never end.

But those are all just dreams

Built on glasses and sands

For in a wink of an eye, our castles were shattered.

You left me without any word

Giving me a silent signal that you have to go.

I let you walked away thinking that you will be back

But you never did for silently you are laid to your final rest.

And now I am here alone looking at the sunset

Reminiscing the joys and laughter we shared,

Pleading time to heal my wounded heart

And to erase the pains within me.
