It had been so long that I saw your glowing eyes <br />I know I had days and thoughts those are wise <br />Yet my heart aches for the distance between us <br />For within you alone lies my inner happiness <br /> <br />We have traveled thousands miles together <br />Have parted million times to wither <br />Yet the distance or the time never mattered <br />For we also lived in one thought to pamper <br /> <br />Cuddled me like caring for a crying child <br />Pampered me when I turned stubborn and wild <br />You have been strength, an unending support <br />With you around me built my happiness fort <br /> <br />As circumstances deterred our passion and pain <br />Within opportunities of being together disdained <br />The more of achievements, meant more of compromises <br />The more of ambitions meant more of self sacrifice <br /> <br />Yet, the human being inside me does not sleep <br />The vulnerable little girl arouses in a restless leap <br />When the thunders frighten the spirits of the soul <br />It searches for you endlessly amidst the roaring world <br /> <br />I know for sure, I am lost in this gamble called life <br />When I don't feel you beside or live with you as a wife <br />Yet what makes me strong and stubborn to grow <br />Is the wonderful memories of past that always glow <br /> <br />May never come across again <br />May be destined to survive this pain <br />But for the passion unearthed with you <br />Makes us strong and live along always new!<br /><br />Umasree Raghunath<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/long-long-and-so-long/
