I Remember You

July 26, 2023


From forgotten days and memories

I remember a day which I lived and lost

I remember a night which I never lived

I remember it vividly, I remember it!


Your sapphire eyes better than clear sky

The quiet noon weighed lesser than time

We spent it cherishing each other's presence

The sanguine dusk bid goodbye too soon


Then came the night

Which will never bid goodbye

We walked across the lake

The moon kept smiling at us

From the lake, from the sky


We got laid on the wet grass

The dew reminded Ruby of dusk

But the Ruby had already settled

And the memory faded like dusk

We counted the stars with fingertips


The blessed night was presenting itself now

Our fingertips had counted enough stars

The cold wind was carrying night's fragrance

stars winked at us, the moon blushed

Sky hid behind the curtains of clouds


We unfolded the secrets of night

We unfolded the secrets of peace

The night captured us in oneness

The night captured our wishes

And I still remember it in oblivion


And I remember it in oblivion

I remember you in oblivion

Oh, can I forget you?

Can one forget the sweetest memories?

Can one forget the darkest past?

I remember you in oblivion, my dear!
