Fall of the happy times

 The Happy Times

I looked into her eager restless eyes 

waiting for her lover.

Impatient and anxious, 

she looks at the door 

as if to catch a sight of him.

Her eyes glisten 

when I talk of him.

Chirpy and  childish,

she waits and waits and waits...

And when he finally comes.

She's elated and smiling from her eyes.

I see them holding hands,

laughing with no care in the world.

They talk and talk and talk 

Of the stories they lived 

in each others' absence.

Finding reasons to touch each other,

She wipes off food from his lips.

They blush in the silences. 

Holding hands they look out the window together,

They smile at the falling autumn leaves.

                                                                                                   The Fall

As I, the third wheel, sit and write this

I feel the odd one out

The one without love,

or friendship, or company..

I look out the window,missing my own self.

I was also her once ,

Blushing, holding hands,smiling,

laughing with no care in the world.

Looking out the window,

the  falling autumn leaves 

make me smile and laugh and cry all at once.

How drastically has life changed...

It goes on, it just goes on.

I look out the window and grow silent.
