It was not long ago

It was not long ago
when love eluded me

It was not long ago
when love knocked on my door

It was not long ago
when love was in the air

It was not long ago
when love was all I could think of

It was not long ago
when dark clouds hovered over sun-kissed valleys

It was not long ago
when love was struck with thunder and light

It was not long ago
when nights were spent in tears of agony

It was not long ago
when heart longed for a ray of hope

It was not long ago
when love failed to overcome fears

It was not long ago
when love was not sufficient anymore

It was not long ago
when memories only remained

It was not long ago
when nothing in life seemed fair

But, it isn’t no longer long ago
as nothing of the past matters anymore

A new beginning, a new hope, arise in my heart
The bleakness of yesteryears remains no more

You seem a stranger again
That drifted with a cloud faraway

All that remains is a lingering memory
of a distant dream that happened long ago!
