If Only.....

Guest Blogger Series-- Part 2

Under the eucalyptus tree
I was trying to recollect all the memories 
Memories that came in bits and pieces 
And, those that came in continuum 
But, the intermittent rain brought chaos 
To the serenity of my memories.

Things have plummeted since that fateful day
Never to turn back to the same again
And, I have been petrified 
Feel like a lost soul in a crowd
Never to be repaired
Never to be rejoiced,
And, never to requiem.

Summer is just around the corner
The sultry sun intimidates
My friends make an effort to cheer me up
From this turmoil
To be near and smell the salty water
And, walk on the sand with the sun setting on the horizon
To experience the same ecstasy 
That we had shared the year before

But, I am clinging by a thread of ‘if’
If only I had prayed further
If only time had waited a little longer
If only I had a moment to linger
If only I had a last hug to spare
If only I had...

And, now only if I could regret lesser!
