for the millennium graduates aka batch 2000

lingering moments

of should-be-forgotten-past

making me wish

yesterday, i was born

yearning for them to keep om

snatches of laughter

of shared thoughts and secrets

all too soon passed and gone

leaving naught but traces

of footprints on the sands of time.

how can i forget you?

when you haunt my reverie

plagues my solitary moments

triggered by places we've gone to

and by people whom we've met?

life has to go on, still a cliche'

i'd have to shut a chapter in my life

make way for the next treasured path

yet i know, you'll stay in my heart

i'll see you in the future, when time gets ripe.
