Reasoning

Time has passed,
Years gone by.
But it seems like just yesterday,
When you were by my side.
The ups and downs gone through together –
The miseries and turmoil we fought for each other.
But destiny has its twisted ways
Of making us realise what we share.
In just one second we drifted apart
With no part to play and no fault of ours.
I try to question “why me this time?”
Still in disbelief of what went by.
Every dream came crashing down
As your flight came to the ground.
You were one of the 150 on board
But our lives were taken, not just yours.
Alas! I must live and move on.
In the hope that time will heal my wounds.
But with every second that passes by,
With every candle that in your memory I light,
I find it difficult to comprehend
Why did our journey end.
But I have come to understand,
Time doesn’t heal all the pains.
It simply teaches us to live
With what we cannot understand.
So, I live as time goes by,
With the flicker of your memories by my side.
