in your light i learnt how to love
in your beauty how to make poems
you danced inside my chest
where no one saw you
but sometimes I did
and that sight became this art
and that sight became this art
long ago i was free
today i am free but chained to your thoughts
long ago i was a normal being
today i am but slowly going insane
long ago i was happy in the sunrise of my tomorrows
today i am happy but in the yesterday of my happiness
long ago i breathed in happiness
today i breathe but in the heartbeat of our memories
long ago i nurtured a dream
today i nurture but flowers around the tomb of our dreams
long ago i was blinded in love
today i am blinded but only by tears
long ago i feared i would die if i didn't had you
today half of me is dead and death seems inferior
long ago i missed you as a person
today i miss that person i thought you were
long ago only sticks,stones and words did hurt
today your silence is tearing me apart
long ago you were the light of my life
today the light of my light is fading with your light
long ago i encountered love,the moment i found your love
today love is but just a meaningless word
long ago my heart was a prairie teeming with life
today it is a ghost town haunted by your memories
long ago you told me a beautiful lie
today i am content in all those beautiful lies
long ago you were the dancing letters of my page
today you are but a beautiful page of my past
long ago i sank myself in your jokes and laughter
today i am drowning in the shrieks of your silence
long ago i wanted to live forever
today i exist but feel cursed with longevity :( :(

I like the post,
My story
There’s a young woman whose path often cross with mine at the bus stop, while we are waiting. She is sweet and her soft-spoken never fails to greet me. Sometimes we talk about the weather, when the day is too cold to speak about other things, but I never dared to ask her name, although I long for knowing it.
I sense it’d be a musical name and delicate songs will have it in their lyrics, and if ever my shyness would be cornered or curiosity would subjugate me, I would hear an unusual name that would please me.
I know she feels safe by my side, because she always come smiling where I am and there she remains silent until the time to leave arrives. And I suspect part of her calm resides in my apparent indifference on conversations invaded with questions.
I am glad when she’s close and I like to watch her when she seems not to notice. And I love her stillness and her absent happiness that invited me to crave for her reserved friendship. And that’s maybe why, because her quiet charm is haunting me, I guess I never desireth her name.
Such is her charm as she now is, that I could not bear that, because of me, she could one day change.
Hey, I am checking this blog using the phone and this appears to be kind of odd. Thought you'd wish to know. This is a great write-up nevertheless, did not mess that up.

!! 'All things pass. This phase will too.Just hold on and be there for yourself' is my feelings that arose towards this very true outpouring about this phase
Rigzin you captured love and loss really well here. In the lines I feel the joy and the torture. We have all been there. Well done.
