He kissed my forehead...

He kissed my forehead,
He usually does when he leaves
Back to his place.
I found this man of my dreams
Years back.
Like a sun lighting the dark room,
He came into my life as a sunshine.
Yes! He is always my sunshine.
Distance doesn't separate us,
Distance defines our love.
I can talk about for hours without thinking.
Like I usually talk a lot and he listens,
I'm short tempered and he's the opposite.
I still can't get how lucky I'm to get him.
I miss him even when I met just few minutes back.

My usual routine of sadness whenever he leaves begins
Every time he picks his bag.
I want him to stay for long.
But this time,
I don't know.
Something's different.
He won't be coming back.
Coming back to me for long.
Long enough I will keep thinking of him to return
Though I know he won't.
No! He can't!
He going too far..
Away from me.
I knew about his illness after a month we met.
I knew he won't be there for long.
I knew he will leave me standing in the middle of everything.
I knew he will remind only in my memories and not in person.
I knew it won't be an usual love story.
Then why I was with him all these years?
I loved him!
It's that simple.
He was and will always be with me in my mind,
In every decision i take,
In everything I see,
And everything I'm.
I miss him,
I'm still in the hope he will return
And kiss my forehead as always.
