Memories please let me sleep

Today again..I am feeling restless..again that same old feeling...feeling of an emptiness taking over my mind....again...at this midnight...when most of the city sleeps...careless winds sweeps down the tall...the flickering light in front of the apartment parkway looks freaky....

I am again spending another restless night in open air...there is a strange calm...night watchman's gentle stroll in the park...

There I can see, us....somewhere...still in the sunset..hand in hand...just like the promises made...I am hallucinating....let me sleep...memories please let me sleep.

You would remember me

When you will look back to this mail..after a long time from now...you would think about me..probably for a fraction of a second...you would know...that I was there..

Waiting for your call...running up and down on the broken terrace with mobile clutched on my numb hand...

Probably unknowingly you might smile, might even try remembering my name...you will try to sketch my face...lost in a crowd...probably you would remember the promises made...the dreams shared...the smiles exchanged.

Probably, that would be the only time, you would remember me.
