Theme: NoTheme

Popcorns and Dreams

I sat heavily after the long tiring hours
A pack of letters made my bedside lamp
'I need no correspondence', I yelled within,
as I tried getting back on my knee.

There are posteds and files
Too much to sort
Amidst all the mess
I saw his pretty pout!

'We had promised once -
'no work after hours'
'Times have changed' '
My sole retort.

He queried, 'How can it change?'
'It has and so have we!'
I kept rational
A quick thought and he queried, 'Have we?'

'I still like your eyes
I'm crazy about your smile
We are picture perfect
And together have walked miles.'

'We used to laugh
Till our eyes wept
We used to love
Today we just care'

I am sorry, honey
I need to remind
It was company then
Now just future and money'

'Yes we are old
getting tired and grey
yet there is a truth
till date you make me sway'

The silly wink, and smiles
All is back again
Today we laughed
And wept again.

I penned it all
My diary I keep safe
Something's change
Most remain the same

Our first date coffee shop
Is now the biggest shopping mall
But the faces in the mirror
Replicate those on the wall.
