When your hair gets damp from winter fog
When you come across a famished stray dog
When you journey up a pine covered mountain
When your step sinks into snow that’s freshly fallen
When you pass a stall filled with Oriental charms
When the wind wails eerily in torrential storms
When you forget to clip your toenails for days
When you visit a mall and get lost in the maze
When Whiskey with water is ordered at the bar
When the rainbow pulls up after a sunny shower
When you bump your knee or nick your thumb
When a drive in the rain makes your fingers numb
When you recall in winters how cold my feet would be
When our being together was the only time we were happy
When yellow blossoms overwhelm amaltas trees
When your heart aches with the weight of memories
When you rummage through the debris of our dreams
When the mind feels like it’s coming apart at the seams
When you can forgive this disguised heart, finally
Just that one last time, think of me.

This is a great piece !! Thoughts in mind beautifully put down as words..and the best part is that anyone can associate with the events that have been described in the poem. Kind of "a melancholy truth" !!
whoa!!!!I love it, and I understood it alllll :P
That dog, Oriental and mall thing is just soooooo u....
i was literally reminded of u while reading the poem...
@ Ant - It's kinda creepy in a way how empathetic this piece is. I never thought it would be, really! In fact, I had thought quite the opposite!
@ Divya - Glad it's one of those poems that didn't bore you before you finished it.
