Predilection

No matter how the things are between us today,

No matter how there has always been -

"conditions applied",
No matter how you tried to maintain the gaps;
You will always be the best thing that ever happened to me!

Not even a single day passes by;

You not being missed.

Good old togetherness being all retained.

Indelible is the mesmerizing bond,

Ineffaceable memories hold it strong.

Given a choice it is you,

Given a memory it is yours.

Wish it holds the same for you.

No matter how I learnt the hard way,

No matter how you took things your way,

No matter how unexplained things lie between us;

You will always be the best thing that ever happened to me!

May you realize the tenacity,

May you grasp hold of the time,

May you speak wellness,

May you come to shrine,

May the passions relive;

And may you hold me in your kind.

This time for the better,

This time for the feared,

This time for always to make it together.
