My life is still alone

Author: Adnan Maqsood

My attention goes towards you,

It searched a partner, that was you,

Opportunities came for a better life with you,

Life was happy until, it saw your smile,

Stars stooped moving around the sun,

Moon left its lighting for the world,

My eyes stayed at the face of someone’s,

I got a new partner, that was someone,

But feelings of life were lonely,

I walked alone,

Thousands of happiness came and went,

I did not again try for fear of destroying loneliness,

Brightness of sun indicates the wish to be with someone,

Unfortunately, it was bound with loneliness,

Loneliness gave me comfort to live a great life,

My journey of loneliness started from universe,
