Echo from those brief summer days !!

The days were warm
Evenings bright
As you would come visit me
Delightful were those nights.

A whiff of curiosity
enveloped us both
when one would listen to the other
and let dreams float.

Then, the day approached
when you had to leave
We knew it already.
It wasn't that hard to believe.

As we let each other
take some space
in our own worlds,
This, we had to face.

As a souvenir
we both chose
to gift each other
the book we loved most.

As I open that book today
and see your name
I know the secret of life it shields
as you had claimed.

I am yet to read
the treasure you gave
something I will cherish
till the end that I will save.
