To a person whom I wish I could reach out to...

This is dedicated to a person I've tried and I keep trying to reach out to... I've always wanted to reach out the little kid lost in layers of cynicism.. And I guess a special friend who is also having more or less the same struggle might empathize a lil with me... To all the lost kids and to all the people who've set out to reach to them.. Here is my lil poem...


Hey there, my lonely ranger
Its been so long since you said Hi
Maybe you thought you scared me away
Or maybe you thought I said good bye
Would you believe it if I say I'm still here
Right where you left me in tears
Waiting for another chance to reach out to you
There is an unspoken little bond that awaits to be renewed

I wonder how you'd have been as a kid
Would there still be this bull-headedness
That quick temper that flashes so oft
Or where they just what time has stamped
Over a smile that could have been so soft?

Maybe if we'd met in a different time
Shared a candy or two, said different lines
Built a few castles in our backyards
I'd have cracked a few walls around your heart
And yeah, that would have been a better start...

There is no meaning.. hoping for a past
When even the present would not forever last
Still I'm searching for the lost little kid
Who peeks out sometimes before you shut the lid...

Very true. But in my case I am trying to chase him of ... but he will not. He hangs on to me still a lot, never letting me grow frill and frap.
