That was the time I felt loneliness hunting me through and through.As in a by gone dream I was drown in to the beach way; paved with red bricks.Though I didn’t intent I was made sit on the rocky bench.It stood there like a palatial monument with colours of black and white.It often carried me away through my forgotten past. At times i couldn’t resist my doubt whether this is real or not. Still I donot find an answer perhaps she knews it all than anyone else----- this was how she use to be…
Unlike my concrete bench all others were occupaid by loved ones.. I saw them trying to express their love in words and deeds and failing invariably.Were I searching for my inner soul which time has stolen away from me? Nothing made any sense to me,just my mind itself…

I sat there insearch of her day and night , summer and winter alike… It was she who added rhythm to my songs and tones to my lullabies. Aimlessly I stared at the horizone .The sun was sinking in the sea. I felt that waves were weeping for this loved and lost lonely man..
Oh God what the hell are you doing creating me in uneven life situation.. it was at this juncture I tracedout my own being.. To my frank question why am I so, the only answer flowed to my heart and it was she who satisfied me with answer par excelence. No she never answered me but just smiled and it meant me a thousand answered “let all my happiness be yours all your tears be mine”

A strong wind from the sea shook the yellow leaves from the tree.. it is getting dark. I looked around each and every corner of the beach was teaming with Romeos and Juliets. I was disgusted for each one loved the other for their own interest
I know for sure that my sitting and waiting for her will never meet with success. My little heart couldn’t accommodate the fact that she wont make it up.. why did we meet---------- God knows, God alone knows. Finally I stood up. The beach way was crowded more than before..

Without a shoulder to lean on, without a hand to hold up I saw strangely made my way through the beach…… An unending
travells. She bid bye to me too abrubtly. I felt her presence throught my life though her life seased to exist on the earth……….
