Their Presence

There are some people in life, whom we lose before we realise their significance in our lives. They do hold a place quite important in our lives, but so silently that we don't even realise what roles do they exactly play. And then there comes that fateful day, when we lose them. I too have had such people in my life who, though holding some of the most important places, went so early, that I couldn't understand their importance. I dedicate this work to them. 

Their presence:

Days came and went,
And years passed.
It's been so long since they left me.
I reminisce the days when I had the blessing,
Of their presence in my life.
I was too young and immature,
To realise the purity of their love,
And that such love could nowhere be found.
But, I now do.
I now know what their love meant.
But there exists a fact largely painful,
That I can no more cherish their presence in my life.
Their companionship was heavenly,
Their departure tragic.
And their memories and stories too sweet.
That's the only thing I now have,
That reminds me of their presence.💓💓
