UNTIL I MET YOU!!

Until I met you!!

Some voids take long to be filled,

She had gone away, leaving dreams unfulfilled,

Aimless my life became; listless I wandered,

I immersed myself in work, but deep down, I felt lonely,

Life kept taunting me, those weren't my days,

But I patiently waited for my fate to change,

I waited, for an untarnished bond, for a pure soul,

And a few months back it finally ended,

I was grappling with depression, yet no one did know,

For on my face, the hurt and pain, I never did show,

My smile was a facade, my jokes a mask,

But within, I was sad, I was frustrated, I was angry,

Soon that changed, after the first few times we met,

For I knew, in you a close confidante I had found,

A friend, so caring, supportive and sweet,

And soon I was drawn towards your protective shelter,

It felt so easy to share my inhibitions with you,

You patiently listened to me; I felt comforted too,

Finally I had got a bond, pure and unadulterated,

Something which I thought happened, only in fairy-tales,

Outsiders wrongly feel I am in love with you,

But I do know there are bonds purer,

Relations that go beyond the realm of friendship and love,

Ours is one - ideal, surreal and perfect,

I care for you, from the bottom of my heart,

And I want you to trust, till the day we part,

That I will never let you shed a tear,

That I will be there, anytime, anywhere, anyhow you wish,

My life was incomplete, until I met you,

You filled my voids; you gave me a life anew,

You are the sole reason for my smile and renewed spirit,

I need you till eternity; coz it’s just not life, without you...............
