Never Wanna Lose You...

[ This is a short story written in form of poetry about a working couple who live in different cities because of their professional obligations but try hard to keep their relationship steady irrespective of the challenges they face . ]

I don’t speak much and just ask you to  ,

As words with me are very few ,

Every morning when you wake me up ,

I wish the clock stops it’s ticktock ,

As I carve to hear your soft  voice ,

Freshened with emotions ,

And honeyed with love .

But , alas I need to rush downstairs ,

Or else I would miss the bus approaching in pairs ,

Where  literally I scramble for a seat ,

Achieving it  , makes my mood upbeat ,

If luckily ever I chance upon a window one ,

The mild breeze brings your memories with them ,

Filling my heart and soul with your thoughts ,

Slowly as I start getting engulfed ,

I think someone’s jealous …and that’s the driver as he honks ,

In random  absurd and crude manner ,

Coercing me to get down soon ,

And stop dreaming about our date …beneath the lovely moon ,

Dragging my feet I reach for the door ,

Running like a champion to reach my space ,

That has given me ,my worth deserving place ,

Tying all day on the computer screen ,

Don’t think sweet heart I have gotten mean ,

It’s so true that I don’t find time ,

To dial your number expressing my mind ,

Still every time when I pause for a moment ,

It’s your smile that melts away my laments ,

Every time when you remember my name ,

Those logical coding goes wrong in my brain ,

After the dusk as I come back ,

I wish you were with me , waiting in the flat ,

It’s ok..I manage thinking of you ,

 Eagerly expecting  your calls with  smiles renewed ,

But …if there’s some change in this routine ,

My heart escapes a beat within ,

Random thoughts occupy the psyche ,

Scarring me to hell  , restiveness takes a hype ,

A million times I check the phone’s screen ,

Praying lord for all signals to go green ,

Perplexed baffled dumbfounded I become ,

Hoping that nothing happens to my love ,

Wishing every second that you receive the call ,

And I get to hear your angelic voice my gal ,

I die a numerous times till you say ,

It’s  fine dear , things haven’t gone astray ,

I thank  the Almighty for just being there ,

And bestowing on us his unseen care ,

I may not say it as often as you do ,

But do believe me dear …. I never wanna lose you .
