Alas! I didn’t remember anything anymore how I would write !
Opened watery eyes stared up, while everything felt so low .
Everything around was pitch dark and that’s how it is at night .
Old memories knocked , blurry eyesight , but I saw something glow .
Wiped my eyes . Oh! Behold ! What a beautiful tiny firefly !
Glowing on and off. After a prolonged time, oh, what a beautiful show !
I stared at her for a long time observing her and quickly blinked my eye .
Lest I lost her somewhere in the dark as I was already arrested ;Â
when I had already started following her blindly , I was really unaware .
Only after coming so far , I did realise the glow had gradually already faded .
Alone as I stood , something familiar stared at me so unfamiliar .
It was the same path I had walked hoping it would take me closer to her .
Abandoned ! I did realise everything around me was then too dark .
Making me fully mesmerised , how and when it had started to go away far !
How could I even return back when I had not even left behind any mark !
True that the firefly had shown a ray of love from the darkness at last !
Still these don’t make any sense to you . Am I wrong ? Please say .
Would you mind reading it again with your heart right from the first ?
How funny ! I’m assured that you failed to make any sense of my feelings .
Maybe they were only mine and now waiting to get shattered
as I wait here hopelessly for an imperfect ending because :
The heavenly firefly is you, my dear who is going to abandon me and not stay .Â
