You make me wonder...

I was moving in one direction.
You came from another.
Our lives changed their courses.
They merged and melted into one.
Earlier invisible, a new direction emerged.
I sometimes look back but can’t see you.
Then i start thinking of what you would have been doing

while I was still busy with something else.
Different ages. Different times. Different days. Different geographies.

I sometimes look back and wonder if you ever saw the moon on a full moon night.
I sometimes look back and wonder if you saw the same starts as i did.
I sometimes look back and wonder if you spoke the same words as i did at some point in time.
I sometimes even wonder at the things that made you think.
I sometimes look back and wonder if you saw the same colours in the sky as i did.
I sometimes wonder if you cracked the same jokes as i did.
I sometimes wonder if you saw the same birds flying and wished if you could do the same.
I sometimes wonder if you grew up watching the same cartoons and playing the same games.
I sometimes wonder now if you woke up at the same times as i did and gave a lazy wake up smile thinking of someone special when you wake up from the same dreams.
I sometimes wonder if you woke up with the same dreams.

I sometimes wonder if you ever smiled at a flower that bloomed outside your window.
I sometimes look back and wonder if you ever tried counting those stars and wished them goodnight.
I sometimes wonder if you cried alone sometimes.

I look back at life today and still wonder if you ever felt like going nowhere and kept walking through the empty streets completely directionless.

I look back today and wonder if you ever smelt the first rain drops touching the earth and felt different.
I look back today and wonder if you ever faced the rains and danced under the showers.


I look back sometimes and wonder if you dreamt of that special someone for whom you could cross boundaries and get those stars.
I sometimes look back and wonder if you ever felt weird, like butterflies in your stomach and uncomfortable.
I sometimes look back and wonder if ever we crossed each other’s paths but were invisible then.
I sometimes look back and wonder if you ever thought you’d have someone who would be ready to do anything for you.
Did you ever dream of someone else who would always want to see you happy and smiling.
Did you ever think of someone who would mean the world to you?
Did you ever imagine that you’d be some stranger’s whole world, sometime down the line?

I look back sometimes at the places I’ve been to and wonder if i can take someone else with me who would love the place as much as i do.
I sometimes think if you ever wanted to go to places only with someone very special.

I sometimes look back and wonder if you created a dream and wanted to live there forever.
I sometimes look back and wonder if you played in the bathtub for hours till someone came running after you.
I sometimes look back and wonder if you ever dreamt of waking up to someone special.

I sometimes look back and think if you ever wondered who that special someone would be with whom you could share Everything.

I sometimes get tired and look back wondering what you would have done to relax and calm yourself down.

I sometimes wonder if someone could teach me how to use chopsticks.
I sometimes look back and wonder how bad i was at dancing and if someone could just sweep me off my feet.
I sometimes wondered at the kind of look you’ll have on your face when we first meet.

I sometimes look back and wonder if you ever thought of singing songs together for someone.
I sometimes look back and imagine if you ever thought someone would touch your life so beautifully, again and again, time after time.

I sometimes look back and wonder if you wished your luck was any better.
I sometimes turn around and wonder if you ever thought that you could touch someone’s life so magically.

I sometimes wonder if you ever wanted things to be different and that you were given another option.
I sometimes wonder if you kept quiet sometimes.

I sometimes wonder if you ever thought giving up would be easier.
I look back at my life and wonder what you would have done if you were me.
I sometimes look back and just wonder at my life.

Looking back till now i have always wondered where you were all this while.

I met you Now.
Since then, I’ve never wondered about our past.
We’re moving towards a new direction.

We’re happy to have each other.
I have a film beyond which i cannot see.
I compare others to you.
And the proudest part:
Everyone falls short.

I’ve dreamt of things.
I’ve imagined times.
I’ve wondered so far.
You made me wonder.

Now,
I dream of our future.
I imagine times together.
I wonder about our journey forward.
And you know what?
You still make me wonder.
