If I had known this , when the last time I saw you
that it might be the last time I am seeing you..
I sure would've hugged you tighter, loved you better
comforted you with the expressions
I don't know I was saving for which occasion
If only, I had known, you will be gone for long this time
I couldn't have stopped the time or worldly happenings
but I sure would have taken a better look and feel of "us" together ..
Had I known, this time you might be gone for long
no shyness of expression I would've shown
I would've preached less and listened more
make peace with your ways to handle your troubles
I would've met your sweet girl to fathom her innocence
and to embrace the comfort of you not being alone ..
If I knew I won't meet you soon - my girls , don't know till when
I would confess that you are the only ones who stayed
as we explored our lives & drifted apart
I would've talked and talked about how much it means
that I was able to preserve some ounces of naiveness of college
I would've stayed more night talking about random things all so meaningful
I would've hugged you a couple more times that night ..
Had I known it would be another year before I see you again
I would've stopped to preserve your ageing face, your wrinkles in my mind
I would've hugged you and told you this time in words
that all I am is for your faith in me and upbringing
I would've have jokingly told that you that
I am still not so wise and grown up after-all to do without you
I would've kissed you and said I still am your li'l girl and would always be !
If I knew, I won't meet you for long, I would've had "the talk " with you
to assure you, comfort you that "we" would be fine.
to show you that we are happy nevertheless ..
I would've promised I would make it right , even what I didn't do wrong
I would've earned your confidence in sorting our life..
Had I known, I will not be able to pick you in my arms - o sweet child
I would've never released you from the grip of my embrace
I would've tried harder to make sense of your stuttering gibberish
and would've rocked you to sleep in our lullaby one more time that night ..
Had it not been for you my sweet companion,
I would have lost the hope that, this is not the last time
for all the beautiful things I left unfinished for a reason
It was you, who kept me going and hope beyond the past
of the loveliness that awaits in the future we will create ..

शाम के अपनेपन में दो बातों सरीखी .. चुप शुदा आहट .. ( not mine)
