Poem - Just to dream of you
Just to dream of you - Anup R
I sleep so I can dream of you
I wake up just for a glance of you
But I have to be satisfied with your look of disdain
… where have all the good times gone?
I drink, trying to forget you
I sober up just to talk to you
But I have to be satisfied with the ‘Hello’ you say …
... before you bang down the receiver
… where have all the heart 2 heart conversations gone?
I drive aimlessly …
… another futile attempt to get away
… from you and everything you mean to me
But no matter how much I try
I end up right where I began
… what’s become of all the great plans I had for my life?
So I have another drink …
And drive back home …
And fall into a restless sleep …
... so I can dream again …

This is one of my old (month-old) poems ... posted this today, just coz' Keshi requested a post ... and I can't refuse someone so beautiful and charming and lovely ..... ;) ... lolz ...
Seriously speaking, I added that footnote just so that a few of my buddies such as Elaine don't fret and fume and give me a OTS (one tight slap) for not getting over my ex-flame ... :)
... I have moved on guys! ... but, I still have a bunch of unpublished poems from the messed up relationship ... so, you'll get them gradually, everytime I've got nothing better to post .. ;) lolz ...

@keshi
... anything for u buddy! ... i'm never too busy for you ... :)
Ah! I have a chance!!! :)
100% moving on is impossible ... becoz' of this irritating thing called 'memories' ...
but basically, I say I've moved on when I let go of consciously holding on to those memories ... letting go of the dreams ... accepting that it'll never work out ....
Hey Anup, nice poem there dude...
and wud luv to read more of them...
Take care...and yes...get ova that messed up relationship...I know its not easy..its still taking more than 1.5yrs for me too :(
100% moving on is impossible ... becoz' of this irritating thing called 'memories' ..

This poem makes me realise what I always thought was true...even pain is beautiful!

@roshomon
thanks a lot! yes, poetry sure makes us feel that way ... but it ain't easy na buddy?
ur right...we cant move on 100%...when u love someone deeply, that love will always remain...
Keshi.
I like the poem. ^^ Even though it's rather sad... but that's the beauty of it. And yeah, it can be hard to move on... but if your heart tells you to let go, then you can let go.
Take care and God bless! ^^
@keshi
yes, that's true ... there'll always be a special place in one's heart for the ones we've loved and lost ... :)
@CT
thanks CT. U've always encouraged me. thanks for being there buddy! God Bless Ya too! :)
awww..sorry it had to be so.
Hey SFO,
thanks ... I'm sorry too ... but I've learnt a lot from that ... plus I made great buddies like u do to all that ... it ain't that bad now ... :)
Truly amazing ...
I guess when we're sad we come up with better stuff than we otherwise can ...

Hiya CT!
