I watched you going
till you blurred in the horizon
Right where you left me
I simply stood on
Savouring the last sight
and thinking that you might
once, maybe once
turn backward to see
A separated us, a waiting me.
You didn't care, I hoped till hope
and now you are visible no more
I wonder whether to stay
for if you return
when you return
I want to be right here
so you can find me
but then I wonder
will you ever return?
Or should I move on?
Whatever that means.

Shhhhhhhhhh.... A constant hangover is a strictly old age thing. Kiddo must move on.

P.S. The vice-versa sort of corollaries derived from Phoenix's statements always hold, unless stated otherwise by herself.

It is pretty complicated you know .. this thing of staying there ..waiting .. or to move on ..

it depends too..
if u really want someone to return thn I guess you wait .. may b fr a bit longer .. bt ofcourse nt fr eternity .. (may b within you do)

else .. it takes sometime to set urself .. off the hook .. n thn u dnt really think abt it .. n evn if u do .. its turns out to b a sad past .. n u ask .. y ME? y ME?

I love these sticky situations, where one cannot choose between two impossibles.

somebody is trying to act oh so smart! :P
Still for this once, it's funny enough for you to be forgiven ;) Kiddo will grant you this much ;)

[prude]
Hopefully.

That's doing nothign at all, really, whle pretending to.

The how long is tricky...because you cannot decide that this much enough. When there is hope, what ifs appear. But are they worth it. Who knows? Stagnating anything is not worth anything, perhaps.

Time is one's best friend, and biggest enemy at times. Whatever happens is because of Time. Never know what to do with the devil!

Ah..moti's generally-applied-arbitly-distributed-whenever-he-doesnt-know-what -to-say words of wisdom!

You're impossible. So am I. Choose.

good one, reminded me of an old song from the movie Haqeeqat, no many people observed that one.

"Main ye soch kar uske darr se chala tha...."

hmmm so the phase still continues ?

Nice option, I would say. Keep waiting and keep and eye open for others walking on the path. Whichever comes first, a new bird or the returning one, strike.
cool.

PS- people blessed with pride must value preseverance, is all what i meant. unsolicited as always :P
