The few times we met,
i can never forget,
i wish i had never met you,
god and his cruel games!
of love or fondness for you,
i have no claims.

what are you to me?
a friend?
an acquaintance perhaps?
i wish i knew,
these nebulous feelings i have for you!
memories,images from the fleeting moments of togetherness
are now etched forever in me
-your gentle smile,your innocent eyes,your voice-
ah!bliss!
lets meet once,
or twice if you agree!
just the two of us,
that will be enough before you go your way,i promise!
i will notice all the nuances-
the colour of your eyes,the shape of your eyebrows,
the shade of your lips,the tone of your laughter-
It will give me
memories,enough to meander through my life.
what about me you ask?
what will i do ?
well,let me see.
you have asked a tough question,
i should thank god,perhaps.
for the gift of memory,
memory!,
that wonderful talisman,
which binds you to me
god is not so cruel afterall,
my apologies.

A little late for a reply. But here it is:

Apologize you to God for asking a genuine question?
That is the power of thoughts, that you just let flow.
It might not seem apt, but someday come into my position,
And then you'll know, what it feels to be alone.

The colour of the eye you say. Mere photons of some hues,
Their meaning assigned by your mind, and your soul.
It might not seem apt, but someday step into my shoes,
And then you'll know, it all feels so bad.

Memories you say. They're nothing more than electrical connections
But look at you, mere connections controlling your existence.
It might not seem apt, but someday come into my position,
And then you'll know, the hardships they present.

I appreciate your writing, and probably its true
But what if God is simply playing little games.
It might not seem apt, but someday come into my shoes,
And then you'll know, how God feels.

@utkarsh
unlike ur reply in the form of a poem about "marriage",
this one hasn't quite got the the emotion behind the poem.it seems more like an independent poem than a reply.the poem i wrote was not about being alone or something.but is nice in its own way.a geek's poem :)
