I Miss You Terribly

When I reached home

After meeting her

Nothing was familiar

Nothing was in its right place

Everything felt different

Pictures on the walls

Clothes in the wardrobe

Curtains hanging against the windows

Books in the shelf

Curiously even

The diary besides bed wasn’t mine

Someone had scribbled in it

“Dear diary, I miss him terribly!”

The bed was still warm

As I was making sense of this strangeness

Someone suddenly

Embraced me from behind

It was only then I realized

After all my nightlong attempts of going home

After all the loitering and roaming around

In my oblivion

I have come back to her place only

“Did you sleep well?” she asked

“I missed you terribly!” I replied
