You touched me like a soul so enigmatic yet pure,
Moved by your mere touch I gave my all to you.
Today I wish to forget you-
Not because I didn't love you,
Not because I didn't be true to you,
Not because I agreed to you;
But because I no longer wish to be tied down,
Like a broken damsel brought down by the emotions,
Drowning me to a catacomb.
Your kiss made me live too far,
Your caress arrested me afar;
Far from the worldliness in your clasp.
Thinking of you, missing you each day;
I wish to mark an end to this saga;
I wish to mark an end to my sleepless nights;
I wish to forget you like a soothing reverie,
I wish to forget you like someone who loved me;
Not knowing how to love one,
Philophobic though you;
I wish to forget you like you loved me.
I wish to forget you!
May you remember me like the one;
Someone who genuinely fell for you.
May be we'll meet again,
May be we relish that fervent passion again;
The one which is true and not an amour.
May be we'll meet in some other world;
Destined into some other life,
May be we'll make up for the lost time.
May be this is an end to our chapter for now;
May be a lot is marked up for some other time!
