So near,yet so far...

On one of those rare evenings together,
as we held hands and walked down the road.
You were happy to be with me,
I was too,but maybe it never showed.

So far,yet so near,
never realizing when we grew apart.
Still the love was and is intact,
I feel it and I know it for a fact.

Many more people came into your life,
and I got lost in the crowd.
Gone are those days when
I truly felt that I made you proud.

I feel elated when someone relates me to you,
it is always such a pleasure to talk about you.
You were my support,my pillar of strength,
it was always I who was insecure,never you.

Today,you stay miles away,
Still an achiever,still chasing a dream.
Setting standards for us to meet,
the whole world you can beat.

The love of your life is forever with you,
taking care,being there and we are all with you too.
Do not ever lose sight of the dream,though difficulties come in scores,
We await you with open arms on the other side of friendly shores...
