Why/When/How?!

Gurleen Kaur

Why did I ever stop believing

In all that’s good in this world?

When did I lose faith

In finding and keeping what’s rightfully mine!

How did I fall out of love

with the process of becoming?

Why did I let disappointments cloud my ray of hope?

When did I lose sight of my future, as bright as the stars I preach.

When did I forget that I’m as ready to take on the world as I will ever be.

How did I not see,

Hope is right around the corner;

Miracles happen without even asking;

And life is as beautiful as it can be.

You weren’t an easy goodbye,

But we agreed to disagree,

And knew being apart is how we’ll heal.

I close my eyes and it seems like ages ago

But you know I can still read your mind,

like it was just the day before.

I think of you and smile,

knowing that once upon a time,

You were mine.

I look at you and realise

I did something right.

You weren’t an easy goodbye.

And, though, apart we had to drift,

Our journey was a beautiful gift.

Found You

Gurleen Kaur

I found you.

When I sat by myself, introspecting,

You were in the reflection of the glass that I was holding.

When I walked the distance in solitary,

You were in the shadow that kept me company.

When the noise all around became overwhelming,

You were the voice in my head that got me going.

 

It was surprisingly easy to spot you in all the hullabaloo,

Once I knew what I was looking for was you.

You’re my confidence, the best part of me.

And against all odds, I found you in me.

Sweet Poison

Gurleen Kaur

You were the moment that took my breath away; but I can’t ask you to stay.

There’s so much I want to hear; but don’t say those words, you make me weak in my knees even when our eyes meet.

 

You’re the dream I still haven’t woken up from,

the one I see even when I’m awake!

 

You’re the beginning to the end that I can’t handle

You’re poison to me but I want to have you anyway!

Memory Lane

Gurleen Kaur

When I’ll look back at my life and see you standing next to me, I’ll know I was loved.

And with a smile, I’ll go back to where it all began and find myself all over again, without you.

I’ll feel the places one more time, and let in what I was then too blinded to find.

I’ll trudge the roads that I once measured by how soon they led to you, till they become the paths that I walk to re-discover myself.

There’ll be a faint remembrance in everything I’ll lay my eyes on;

And a fleeting warmth of your presence in the familiar terrains;

But I won’t stop, till I solve my quest to find the best of me.

Because I know I was loved, and you had a piece of me, but I want to get back all of me.

She

What Meets the Eyes

Gurleen Kaur

She blended effortlessly in new surroundings, like smoke bends to the slightest wind;

but the breeze always carried her scent so that she was never lost.

 

Though she drew her own boundaries, she was never trapped;

her wings made sure they weren’t her limitations.

 

When her lips curved into a smile, it was contagious enough to make her sorrows laugh.

Glamorous enough to be noticed, she wished to be seen beyond what eyes could see.

Dreamer

Gurleen Kaur

I don’t want you to hold me but touch my soul

Don’t be with me all the time but stay in my thoughts

Don’t tell me all your stories but say the words that move me

Don’t make my decisions for me but influence me

Inspire me, indulge me,

destroy me if that brings me back to life

Run wild with me but hold me back at times

Hurt me, I will heal; ignite that passion in me

Make me feel your presence, not your mortal self

You may think I’m dreamy but I’ll wait till my dreams come true
