Sugar

You call me 'Sugar'.

You, like the ever-adaptive water,
flow along what life gives;
Turning your course when life demands.

Oh you don't know how much I cherish that !

And I go after you wherever you go.

And I follow you to the mountains.
And I chase you to the seas.
Hand in hand, we wander.
And we watch the soft breeze.
And we smell the flowers bloom.
And we listen to songs of chirpy birds,
Or so we presume.

And in you, I am lost.

And then spring leaves.
And ordinary creeps in;
And the birds don't chirp anymore,
And thunder and lightening begin;

I wake up and look at you.

Oh so sweet a face!
I swear I have never seen.
These eyes! This look!
Oh and that grin!

Oh you don't know how much I cherish that !

And I glance carelessly
At the distant mirror-
But I see nothing-No face.
Nothing. Not even a blur.

And I look at you sitting there,
With your sweet sweet face.
And i look back at the mirror,
And i don't exist there- No trace!

And then you say it again.

"Sugar".

And it all makes sense.

In you, I am lost.
