We fought a week before,
And it all started then,
No messages, no calls, nothing,
We both remained silent.
But it was different this time,
As this wasn’t an ordinary day,
It was special to me,
As tomorrow it was my birthday.
Usually, I would receive a wish,
Sharp at midnight,
This wouldn’t be the case this time I felt,
Because things between us were not alright.
Let’s see what happens,
Maybe our silence streak will break,
This was a tiny hope,
That kept me awake.
It was quarter to one now,
And there was no sign of a wish,
I received a few from others,
But that’s not what I wanted to cherish.
I finally fell asleep,
Along with that thought,
Would it happen tomorrow,
Or will I experience a drought?
I shouldn’t be amazed,
Why it is affecting me so much,
The one attached to us makes us feel,
Everything even with a virtual touch.
That’s about the attachment,
One must beware of,
Because if it is lost,
Our life internally blows off.
It was morning by now,
And I was fresh enough,
Busy thanking everyone,
And having a time tough.
There were no such plans,
And that’s normal for me,
Just having some time with family,
Is all that I would plea.
I had a solid lunch,
All my favourite dishes,
To add more to it,
I was getting plenty of wishes.
But then it’s all about the heart,
Staying stuck to what it wants,
Those “plenty” wishes didn’t matter much,
As only that one wish haunts.
Then my friends arrived home,
The evening started with fun,
They brought me a cake,
And that too my favourite one.
My world was with me,
But I wasn’t with them,
It’s all about my emotions,
And that made me overwhelm.
I received a few gifts,
Which makes a birthday special,
But I was hungry for that single gift,
Which for me was essential.
The day was about to end,
And the time was passing by,
This was my longest wait,
And trust me it was very sly.
Questions started to pop up,
Is this the beginning of the end?
What was so messed up,
That even this day failed to amend?
Finally, this was it,
The day was over,
This was the first time,
I missed anyone’s wish ever!
A wish is just two words
But weighs way more than it,
I tell you with experience,
It’s really heavy to lift.
It would have made my day,
You can call me emotional,
But in case you ever experience it,
You’ll understand how much it’s sensational.
I’m not that weak,
But this ‘wish’ has sucked my strength,
Enough thinking about it now,
Because I’ll only be tense.
So this is about my wish,
Which I was eagerly waiting for,
It never came through,
And there’s nothing to tell more.
