Age seemed reduced by many years
Face always blushed with uncontrolled smiles
Like a newly wedded wife on nuptial bed
I enjoyed every moment of the day
From morning itself, I played love songs
At full volume without caring anyone
Favorite songs repeated several times a day
Singing them to myself as if she was within me
I spent hours standing before mirror
Combing and setting hair in different styles
Guessing which gestures of mine, she likes most
Practicing how to hold her hand
How I will hug her, how I will stroke her hair
Planning and purchasing new clothes
Started exercises to reduce my tummy
Brushing teeth before going to meet her
Considered them friends, who listened me
Hated everyone who warned and stopped me
Getting sad and sometimes even wept
Whenever I found her tensed for whatever reason
Never thought what will happen to my carrier
My printed assignments always covered with red remarks
Always reached and waited hours before she reached
I avoided crowd, came closer to the nature
Loved to watch flowers, birds, trees and ….
Always praying to see her in every dream
Started offering prayers to God daily
Day and night, I wanted to be with her
Whole life I wanted to live for her
Now I drink and smoke in my dark room
Day and night one duty, to console my broken heart
Who whines for milk, like a newborn baby in my lap
I am his mother, with no milk in my breast for him.
