You were the one

I went to meet that day

But you failed to walk up to the aisle

You left me clinging to time

You left me lingering in hope.

Giant hands of time

Kept clapping

Days kept blinking

Hopes kept fleeing

But you were nowhere to be seen.

I bowed down the ages

To catch a glimpse of you

To feel your fragrance

To hold your arm

But no seasons brought you at my sill.

Sunk in serenity

Lost in time

I just longed to give you back

What I owed to you

The eternal wait!
