Saudade
all these years have gone by
so many people have walked by my life, as it passes by i have changed, i have become another person, in the heat of the sun once rebellious, i have softened in dark nights, like a lonely bird i have taken flight, and found my flock flying over a thousand dreams
i have learned good and bad i have understood right and wrong i have seen life from a child's perspective i have talked hours to a stranger i have understood the pain of an aging parent time has come to pass as summers and winters have lingered around me and all these years have gone by so many people have walked by my life, as it passes by but never have i, by coincidence, by chance or by divine intervention, come across that old treasured path and all these questions remain unasked and all these questions remain unanswered through all these years, and all that i am i have left myself behind to a time that is forgotten a thousand dreams took flight and a fallen dream that never happened - Namal Siddiqui
