Found You

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.

Time-bound

I’m not yet ready for this moment to become a memory but I know I can’t rest.

There’s a greater unknown in the future but I have not even decoded the present.

I’m too slow to move on, too fast to get a hold on my thoughts;

So I’m pausing time in my mind, and trying to memorise everything that make this moment worth living for.

Belong

I guess I never belonged to any one place,

But I did belong,

To music, where I lost myself to rhythms and my imagination danced on tiptoes;

To nights, till dawn broke and my thoughts curled up to rest in comfort;

To burdens, that are now weightless due to the timeless hours that starved them.

I guess I never belonged to any one place.
