Anniversary

I know how much you love me

Not from the very moment you said casually

But over the period of time

Everyday

Months

Till it became a year

Not just with your words

But with your bearing

The respect you accord

The love you shower

Erasing my embittered past

You have stood by me

Every moment

With your exhilarating being

You never leave my thoughts

Rather you never leave me alone

With your thoughts

In these vagaries

A year has coursed

We have sailed through

In the tears of love

Imprinting our footprints

In this odyssey

And I will wait for you

In the other side of life

As well.
