Poem

"Invalid 11:11 Wish"

I wait on this bench of memories,

Even if the light turns to darkness,

Even if the sky turns sour,

As if it feels this immense pain,

How I wish you appear,

Like a ray of moonlight knitted together.

I almost give up,

I step on the precipice of life,

That decides my direction,

One step forward brings me to where you are,

One step backwards brings me to where I am,

But I know,

I’ll be losing my tempo if I follow you.

I close my eyes,

Clasping my hands tightly,

Till blood cannot rushing through my veins,

Wishing the same wish,

For you to be with me,

Along with our loved ones.

I look at the time,

It seems like my 11:11 wish is invalid,

Since the time runs to 11:12 when I wasn’t watching,

All I can do now is seeing your shadow leaving.

Still,

Our memories keeping me company,

Our loved ones still waiting for me,

Those are the only haven that I had left.
