Lost Found

LOST

The day I saw you,

The day I spoke with you,

Lost my speech,

Lost my sense,

Found my love.

 

Then you said;

It’s over (Love),

I got lost again.

In the sea of vagueness,

I sailed for ages,

But I could not find the shore,

I wondered why?

 

I realized then

The love anchor was not lifted……..

Time is the doctor

Which healed me better.

 

FOUND

Then….

I found I have patience,

I found I have perseverance,

I found I have continuousness,

Finally I lost my weakness

And found my strengths.
