Something Left Behind

The lost roads the lost friends

never haunted me till some days ago,

but suddenly one day it came back

like the waves come back after colliding with a rock

shook me and wrapped me in a nostalgic blanket

I never felt so lonely ever before,

it was like lying dead alone in a casket.

I did what I never had done before

picked up my bag and just walked out of the door,

telling nobody without leaving a trace

I went far to the place where I could find my lost friends,

I had no expectations or had any idea what was I to discover

the same old faces or a stranger in an old shell,

but never loose hope I said 

there might something be left for old times sake.

After centuries it seems I am back where I belong

back to the loved ones that I used to know.

but it doesn't seem like them what is used to be

changes have occurred but where is the peace?

The playing children in the garden are no more

have people become so selfish they don't ever greet anyone,

anymore?

Found my old mates but they seem to have me forget

cause I smiled to them but they never waved back

and left me alone to drown like a shipwreck sailor.

It hurt me like a glass falling from the sky,

scattering to pieces and never to be ever joined

Has time taken its toll or is it the soul

which has evolved to forget the past and remember no-more.

Heartbroken I was about to return when i found something coming at me

the sound seemed familiar racing towards me,

and then suddenly my eyes lit up like a pilgrim finding his god

it was the dog named 'Rosie' whom I raised as a pup.

She jumped into my arms and licked my face and made me laugh

her fur felt so soft her skin so full of life,

like finding a true mate after a lifetime.

Really people do change but somethings never.

In this endless race of the world we all left something behind,

that cannot be recovered.
