You say hello and u look straight into my eye <br />You seem familiar and I wonder why? <br />You ask me how I am and if life has been good <br />I want to answer but I don’t know if I should. <br /> <br />You hold my hand and you ask me to sit for a while <br />You bring back old memories and you make me smile <br />You talk of people who seem so distant and far <br />I still sit here wondering.. who you are <br /> <br />You say you need to go, but I want you to stay, <br />You say you cant, you need to go away, <br />You say “Sweets … I too wish that this moment could last …. <br />But I need to leave, as I am your past “ <br /> <br />“It’s the present you need to go with coz I will take you nowhere <br />I am what you were, but it’s a different journey from now on and here “ <br />Clinging to me will not help, you need to get off the hook.. <br />But whenever your present makes you lonely, you know where to look …..”<br /><br />Kavita Mehra<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-know-where-to-look/
