Yours and Yours

The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours
The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours
A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause
For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours
And yours
Leo Marks..

I read the poem in Courier mail yesterday..and remembered you reciting this over a cup of tea..in the red and white decor cafe on MG road. I don’t remember the name of the cafe.. It was close to GK vale studio.. We had gone to buy books from the second hand book shop wala..

My mistake is to try and fill the void you left behind..
Just to experience that sheer joy of being loved for who you are..
just to hear the words spoken in silence..
just to have someone to lean on..for the sake of togetherness..

People tell you time heals..But time doesn’t heal..It can’t heal something that is not broken..

    GK: true..you know when you amputate someone's limb.. the patient always tells you..they can feel the pain in the missing arm..phantom sensation..Pseudesthesia
    I know..he isn't there..yet I wake up each morning..hoping he is there..by my side..and wish..I could heal from that feeling..
