Walking in the moon-lit night

I am walking in the moon-lit night alone no one with me but your memories, it reminds me the same night the same lane, the same trees, on both sides as they were escorting us guarding us waving hither and thither with the blow of wind, as they were dancing in joy seeing us together.  Yes on that night I was not alone, you were with me, arms in arms closed, so closed that I was feeling the beat of your heart.  I remember your raising of head and looking into my eyes, with live smile on your lips, I remember the slight trembling of your lower lip, I remember how I tried to stop it by putting my finger on it, but it was still trembling.   The enchanting trembling was conducting right into my heart through entire of me.  Today you are not with me, you are gone.   You left me without giving me any reason.  I remembered you once said when I asked you, “Why do you love me?”  You said holding me tight, “I just love you, if you ask the reason, ages will pass.”

But you are gone now without giving me reason, I would wait for the ages to know the reason.  This moon-lit night fails to remove the weariness of life,  it is doing nothing to elevate my spirit and enliven my soul.  It is now burdening my mind on the contrary of its nature to refresh it.  This very moon-lit night charged the spirt when I had you by my side.  But today it itself seems to be fading.   The cool air, the cool and bracing beams of the moon are still kissing each and every object of nature present, but the sight is not as charming as it was when you were with me.

I am sitting quiet, the memories are still fresh and haunting my mind.  That night and this night.  That night was warm because of your nearness and being closed to the bosom of the Nature.  And this night my lap is empty, and I am still wanting to know the reason why did you leave me.
