The Moment

the first glimpse of her
clicked something inside him
the introvert in him curbed the
instant confession
the bus moved on and he kept watching
the moment is gone and it shall
never return

a career in music, his passion
or in banking, which showered money
his parents had decided for the latter
he managed to curve up a smile and
accept it, unhesistantly
the moment is gone and it shall
never return

the chance to see his friends
getting together after a decade
reliving the amazing moments
the way he loved it
work didn't allow him to do that
the moment is gone and it shall
never return

a dream to fulfill roaming the earth
free like a bird without the fear of life
exploring places and witnessing
the enchanting beauty
just him and the nature
but marriage had come a bit early
in his life
the moment is gone and it shall
never return

choices that we make decide
the path we tread
our memories can be
a theater of fulfilled dreams
or a lifetime of regrets

moments in our lives are precious
live them
grab them
cherish them
for once gone
they shall never return
