So this is another collab with my dear, poetic twin sonakshisrivastava . But this time is exceptional, because I wrote my stanzas first as a separate poem and it wasn't planned as a collaboration. then the idea popped up on both our minds and Sona added her lines and it came out beautifully as you will read now ;)

Enjoy!

Have we met before?

In another life perhaps

Or in a vivid dream

Where the walls of

souls did collapse

*

You seem familiar

like that dewy sunrise

that reminds me of home

or maybe it's just my eyes

believing this to be true.

*

You too look familiar 

To my lonely heart

Was it not waiting

For my life to start?

The past is gone

Now future takes part

*

Maybe we've met before

those hazel eyes don't lie

or maybe it's the amber sky

shadowing my lonely heart

*

Do you remember?

That first glance

Divine miracle

By happenstance

Or was is just me?

Aching for a chance

*

Oh! I remember that day!

when we first glanced

at each other; but now

somewhere my heart aches,

when I see you walking past

wishing for a chance.

*

Did you feel it too?

Did you notice

A shy silhouette 

Of a lover-to-be?

Or a vague shadow

All You did see 

Was this even tr--

*

True! A shadow of a lover

 A silhouette of a soulmate

I saw those signs, but did you?

Did you see that aching heart?

did you hear my wailing calls?

Perhaps not ...

*

Oh! Perhaps not…

Sorry to bother you.   

*

Wait! Maybe if we try to---

Oh, you left.

Nevermind.
