Aligarh, Indis
ritten on 25th Feb, for a lost best friend.

Oh what do I have to do
to escape this shadow of you?
I know you were gone long ago
but you are coming back as a shadow
My mind knows that you left
but what do I say to my heart?
It still believes that you are here
It still believes that you still care
It keeps that that you were never gone
it tells me that I'm not alone
Everytime that I try to tell my heart
that you are not what you used to be
One by one they all come back to me
all of your comments and compliments
every single one of our arguments
Reminding me of what I once had
and my one mistake that gave it all away
I never imagined that you'd go away
but maybe this is what I should get
for getting attached to you in such a way
Now everywhere that I go
I just keep looking for you
and inside everyone that I talk to
I see that shadow of you
Now before I start something new
I wonder what would have been your views
and now I realize this truth...
it's not just my heart that misses you
You are missed from the depths of my soul too
All your mails, every word you used to say
Our random chats and long talks on my birthday
They're all just too much to forget or run from
The more I try to make it go away
the more your shadow seems to stay
Everytime that I try to tell myself that you've left
The more proofs of your presence i get
All your words start haunting me
All your promises keep coming back to me
You must have broken them all now
but I don't think you have forgotten them at all
Oh how i want to talk to you
but all I have is your silent shadow
I still pray for you before I sleep
I still miss you! Can't you see??
Come back or leave me completely
because this shadow of you keeps killing me!
