My Life whizzed past me!!!

It was raining that night,
The night I took a ride back home,
The night my life whizzed past me!!!

Watching little tots splattering in the rain,
The look of pure joy and innocence on their faces,
Made me think, why am I missing such pleasures in life?
Then it dawned,
Innocence and joy long forgotten, I have been running after things that now don't make sense.

It was raining that night,
The night I took a ride back home,
The night my life whizzed past me!!!

Seeing a young boy and girl, walking hand in hand,
Seemingly oblivious to the world, lost in each other's embrace,
Made me think, why am I missing such pleasures in life?
Then it dawned,
Feelings suppressed and practical thought, made me lose the one I loved the most!

It was raining that night,
The night I took a ride back home,
The night my life whizzed past me!!!

Here I am, having finally reached home,
The water having drenched not just my body but also my soul,
A promise I make to myself,
To live this life, this Only one I got,
With all the passion I got.

To make things right, to look over the wrongs,
For I don't want my life to whiz past me on my ride back home!
