In comfortable aloneness,
Where the road takes a turn,
Towards infinity,
I had seen you disappear, there,
Round the corner of my youth.
I've tried looking back in vain,
I've tried moving ahead in vain,
This constant tug of war,
Once tore me apart,
The hazy past of frayed memories,
And a clean slate of a future without you,
My courage got stranded,
Somewhere,
Between either way,
In a sea of complacency.
So,
I'm still standing here,
In comfortable aloneness,
Where the road takes a turn,
Towards infinity.
