Hundred Miles

I decided to hunt for you after spending days alone,
Because of my relentless ignorance, so far you had gone.
But I was firm to decide that I'll again make it all right,
And if the destiny favoured us, we would never ever fight.

Pondering over the maxim, 'if there is a will, there is way',
I set off to find you even on that sweltering day.
I wanted to end the bitterness of our relation and again become gay,
So, I just left for you without making a further delay.

On the way your thoughts were hovering above me,
Which helped me sustain that sunny day.
They behaved to be that cozy shade of a helping tree,
And gave vibrations to my lips when I had nothing to say.

In the hope of meeting you and shedding our hatred I moved on and on,
I never realized that when the time elapsed from the dusk to a new dawn.
Even a diminutive thought of yours gave me immense energy to walk,
And opened new dimensions in my parochial mind which was seldom blocked!

But girl, where are you today?
There are many things which I feel I should say.
I've searched thousand places but nowhere could I find
You, despite I've already walked a hundred miles...

I'm standing amidst dust and confusion,
Where my rusted hopes are demanding protection.
My vision has reached the remotest corners of all directions,
But nowhere could they trace any affection.

What shall I do? I'm quite in a fix,
Shall I quit the idea of making a home with our love's bricks?
The distance between us has widened so much,
That even if you hug me, I wouldn't be able to feel your touch.

I'm unable to hear those timid beats of your heart,
And find your doting eyes, quite dark.
I feel like crooning my misery to this world,
Wish, for the last time if I could smell your perfumed curls.

I desire to meet you girl, but I'm extremely helpless and afraid,
If I'm unable to find you, certainly I'll go under the blade.
Still I don't know if I should go ahead with my journey,
Or take a U-turn and choke that hope which I finally received from my destiny?

I've decided.
I'll walk ahead and cover another hundred miles to reach you.
Because if I retreat my steps, I still can't avoid to walk those hundred miles,
Which I had covered already from the place I had started.
