Precious Moments

When I wanted you around
You were often not there
To be present by my side
I was looking for a shoulder
To cry or to feel the warmth
In my happy and sad moments
As I had always looked for
Our togetherness at all times
In spite of the circumstances
I was angry, anguished, appalled
At times for no sound reasons
May be I was just missing you
Without even ever realizing
You may be in the same boat
Now I can appreciate and find
It wasn’t anyone’s fault
But circumstances responsible
And the shadows of livelihood
That came in between and around
Our precious moments of lives
