Do you remember?

A gush of gentle breeze,

The sound of rustling leaves;

 

Smell of the first rain,

Embrace from your mother which eased the pain;

 

The ringing of the school bell,

Awaiting results, praying you’d do well;

 

 A lecture missed,

A stolen kiss;

 

The first day ever spent with your beloved,

Now when you look back, find your emotions flooded;

 

The joy of finding a ten rupee note in the pocket of your old jeans,

Faking being upset when your friends spilt the beans;

 

The never-ending talks, those midnight calls,

Holding on to the phone till morning crawled;

 

The last day of college, bidding adieu holding sobs,

The nervousness at the first day of that new job;

 

An encouraging pat, a meaningful chat,

The look of assurance and belief from your dad;

 

A warm smile from a stranger,

The thrill of narrowly escaping danger;

 

Walking past a shop hearing your favourite song play,

Holding on to a cup of hot tea on a rainy day;

 

 A short two-min call from your loved one,

After a cold day, a glimpse of the sun;

 

The feeling of warmth from someone you love,

The withering away of tensions from a child’s hug;

 

Realising life is not about that one big night or day,

It is these moments which take your breath away!
