I made a promise
That long gone yesterday
I made a promise
To forget those love-filled days

I gave you my word
That nothing of then would remain
I gave you my word
That none of our story would I retain

Oh! Those days in love
Those lovely days when
We were in each other's arms -
Arm-in-arm we walked
Down these very lanes
As I walk on this day
Alone and battered.
Ah! These days in pain!

I broke the promise
That I had made that yesterday
I broke the promise
Of that to be forgotten hurting day

I didn't keep that word
To forget you and your love's peace
I didn't keep that word
To drown those pieces of memories

Oh! But how could I?

How could I have buried the past
I hold so close to my chest steadfast?
Can you tell the sun to stop its rising glance?
Can you ask the butterfly not to do its dance?
Can you ask the breeze not to blow its airs?
Can you ask the moon to simply disappear?

If you can do all that, then my dear,
I will forget you and your love,
Maybe, just maybe, but can you?
Can you forget me or my love?

Or have you already?

I made a promise
But I had to break it.
I gave my word,
But I couldn't keep it.

Sudhir, this brings to mind the many times I've felt this way.  I especially liked the lines asking nature to just change they're course.  You can ask, hope, and wish all you want but that does'nt mean its going to happen that way.  I hope that it all works out for you.

Sudhir~~~Wow this is great!! I really like the part where you put:

Can you tell the sun to stop its rising glance?
Can you ask the butterfly not to do its dance?
Can you ask the breeze not to blow its airs?
Can you ask the moon to simply disappear?

That was really good!!And I hope that you keep posting here cause you write beautifully.

Good to see ya here, Sudhir. This is a wonderful piece, but it's so heart-wretching. I hope this doesn't apply to your own life. Keep 'em coming!

Thank you all my friends... Thank you so much...

I will try to be on this forum as much as possible... but believe me it is difficult to keep up with all the forums' posts... and it is difficult to be away as well... but who said that life is simple, anyway  

Many regards,
sudhir.

P.S. and Lavada thanks for the offer... you are such a good friend....
