Another day went by

Author: Ali Jan Maqsood

Unstoppable days have been moving fast these days,

I reckon,

None of them bring thy news to me,

Neither any of these days pause a while for I come in our dwelling,

That solely graveyard near your home!

Thy remembrance keeps dragging me in the last place I moved after you,

In your search!

But these days won’t support me to find you back,

As you have been lost during the sunshine of the same days,

They have as if become the enemy of our companionship,

But these days will go by in no time,

For they come to tease and get lost by the appearance of nights,

Similarly, one more lightened day passed,

Bringing me closer and closer and closer to you!
