Sometimes in life,
When the odds are stacked against you,
When everything is slipping away,
When anything couldn’t go anymore astray.

Then for no reason whatsoever,
As if light hiding behind the corner,
A smile just comes to the face,
Which no sorrow can erase.

It fills your entire heart up,
Just making you forget of the troubles around,
You never know why are you smiling,
And where had this happiness been hiding.

You ask yourself again and again,
You ll get to know that it was there all the time,
And much bigger realization begins,
You were just too blinded to look within.

Life has always been,

A string of the contraries,

A path of the opposites,

Of all the goodness and the atrocities.

One wont know the difference,

Of one experience,

Without feeling its opposite,

Of knowing happiness without grievance.

The real value of success,

Is known more to one who s missed,

Rather than the one,

For whom success always persists.

The world s relative,

And nothing can really survive,

Without its opposite,

On whose presence it really thrives.

Big things dont happen without,

The small coming into existence,

Yet the small remain ignored,

Despite their importance being immense.

World sometimes goes selfish,

And forgets the one whom,

Has led them to where they are now,

Saved them from the so called doom.

They will however remember the one,

Whose caused them damage and pain,

For an entire lifetime,yet

Thats for nobody s gain.

One must rather try to remember,

The one who stood by  in the dark times,

Those who played the small tunes,

To create the bigger rhymes.

Some moments small,yet delightful,

Make a difference to an entire lifetime,

Some of friendship,some of love,

Some were exuberant,some were sublime.

Time really flowed fast,

Nothing could have been better,

The feeling one can always relate to,

It was a feeling no one could deter.

That happiness and that satisfaction,

Life suddenly looked bright,

Sadness, despair and tensions all erased,

Mind was on a cloud nine’s flight.

Why let in the sorrows?

Better rejoice the happier moments and thus,

Why not find more delightful moments as such?

To leave us finding a newer life’s purpose.

You leave me in the cold and damp,

Anger, just tears through me,

Betrayal,it was stinging,

Why hadnt I seen through this hypocrisy?

I completed my side of the promise,

Thought you would complete too,

But after seeing your advantage,

Left me out in the blue.

Suspicion  rose,like a slow poison,

And started affecting my trust,

On even the ones who deserved,

I looked on my ownself with remorse and disgust.

Every old friendship had died,

Needed to start all over again,

Had you not been there,

All my friends would not look at me with such disdain.

In a world of smaller lies,

With harsher consequences to face,

Uncertainty seeps through every soul,

Erasing the hard grown truths with extreme pace.

Mistrust and suspicion lie everywhere,

Between the lovers as well as the best of friends,

Years of friendship and years of love,

Is gone in the miniculest of seconds.

In the wariness and fear of the worst,

Small assumptions make trust go weak,

In self protection we end up all messed up,

Behind a small lie an entire truth has become bleak.

Its nearly time that I leave,

A different way awaits me,

These are our final moments,

All we went through was immense,

The friendship and the love,

Were all at their best,

Those moments we ll always remember with zest,

Down to the last sorrow or jest.

Now as our paths separate,

It becomes a bitter pill to swallow,

The final goodbyes are saying it all,

Time really seems to come to a stall.

As you go your way and I go mine,

Finally one has to move on,I guess,

But still the question in the mind chimes,

Will our paths ever cross again in future times?

The little things we tend to overlook,

Those small incidents,

That led to a bigger reality,

To where we are right now in totality.

There could have been a very different life,

Had these not happened,

Every moment lies with its importance,

Complexity of life as always immense.

Somethings happen for the good,some for the bad,

The balance of these two cant be judged,

One can have a good thing leading to a dreading future,

Yet one can have a bad phase yet having lifelong gains.

Yet one must try to live life to the fullest,

And for that one has to consider,

The consequences of the smallest steps,

Cos you dont your world to be of if’s  what if’s and perhaps.

My dream was unfolding in front of my own eyes,

You simply asked me out with much hesitation,

But there was an another truth that did hide,

As moments passed it did need to be apprised.

You would have been more happy with him,

He was much more compatible than me,

I had seen that in your eyes before and so did today,

I had to make the sacrifice of the highest degree.

My heart would heal of that I was sure,

I just wanted to have the best in life of yours,

Seeing you with him would make my act worthwhile,

I would be alwasys behind you as the sea behind the shores.

He s the one and may you be happy with him,

I will find the one of my own as the time flows,

I ll still be the friend that I was and will always be,

I ll make sure you live your life in complete repose.

It really does look that everything,

Has suddenly turned against you,

The people around as did the events,

The crushing load on you simply grew.

Every second seemed a day long,

You were never knowing of tears rolling by,

Mind looked shattered and so did the heart,

Its the truth that one cannot simply deny.

It seems good times are infinite years away,

Mind s logic is defied, heart s emotions bleak,

Insignificance starts hurting more and more,

As load started getting unbearable one started to freak.

Then one looks back to their childhood,

And it really throws up a question,

We were so happy then and now its rhetorical,

“When did we really learn depression?”.
