Search for meaning

By: Hardeep Sabharwal

The text is just floating in the phone,
“Are you angry!”
The phrase, ‘I know what you have felt’.
Is more an irony and less an assumption,
And the reply, ‘No’
But I hate you as much as I love you,
Is not a philosophy, it is a colour,
That sometimes cover the entire sky of feeling,
It is not strange when someone deserts
But justifying is unbearable always,
But let not this time, the text just remain a question
Neither the reply be a shout,
Let mingle the hate and love
And all the shades that were alien till now
As abandon is not one way process,
Time will one day decide the intensity
Of being abandoned or about the dropout of love……
