Remembrances

a poem by Shilpa Shinde

I don’t remember
The sweet pains, if you had given me any
All I remember
Is the care reflecting in your eyes.

I don’t remember
The reasons why I had cried
All I remember
Is you wiping away my tears.

I don’t remember the places
Which we roamed about
All I remember
Is being with you all the while?

I don’t remember
If I couldn’t live without you
All I remember
Is remembering you missing you all the while

Being with you and still being away
Loving you
And hating myself for loving you
All at the same time.
