Confession 13

Had you stayed,
Would you have
Made me happy
As I was, once before?

Life was simple back then
Unlike the words you said.
Along with conversations
The dreams too, are dead.

Into the unknown,
Now that you've gone
Are you happy
As you were, once before?

A debt and a life
For me you left,
Along with realizations,
Induced
By bitter vodka of truth and time
And of memories kept.

Were you truly happy?
I guess not...
Deluded as I was,
Once before.

Why such melancholy?
Unwarranted, methinks...

seems like my ghost got into you...
every line, every word is me
damn..
wish things were different

you summed up an important part of my life..brilliantly

Written beautifully...
I don't know the context in which your speaking but...
'were you truly happy'...
life changes every second, moves on...
just because what once was, isn't anymore, doesn't mean it was not a source of happiness...doesn't mean it could probably have been all fake...because...though this might sound cliche...the existed in the same way as the present does...and the present will be tomorrow's past.
At that moment maybe happiness did reign....don't question that, its a futile approach.

→ Tangled: No. Necessary. Very.

→ Nikhil: :)

→ Wabby: What? (You asked me to say 'What').

→ Sita: I thoroughly enjoyed the comment. We discussed. :)

→ Pricky: Mine's not answered as well. So we're wading through the same swamp.

→ Methi: ***Takes a bow***

→ Prude: Firstly, welcome to Razorblade Dreams. Secondly, whatever I was referring to was never a source of happiness. Interest, yes. But not happiness. Finally, the post is just words. A shadow of some feeling perhaps, but only words nonetheless. Just giving shape to some old doubts. :)
