An unending, agonizing hope !

One moment can change the turn of your whole life,
and so can that one moment- that never happened...

I am standing in a bar,
drunk, swaying to the tunes,
and feeling the high bass rhythm,
pulsing through me...
Soothing the pain of my broken heart...

I pause on the running tracks,
covered in sweat,
with my feet throbbing,
and my heart trying to tear through my ribs,
Escaping from the shame of having made a fool of me...

I smell the pages of a book at a library,
and browse through the movies there...
willing myself to look at other things in life,
Drowning myself in pages & screens to stay sane...

I talk to my peers & friends,
laughing, and talking, and  having a good time,
when I suddenly realize,
I am not the only one in bars, on tracks or in the library,
when it dawns upon me,
there's nothing much that is talked about,
except soothing, escaping, drowning,
or for the few lucky ones, loving...

Maybe, just maybe, the whole life is about finding your love,
and keeping it?
Maybe, just maybe, even here, as in most cases,
not everyone can be called successful...

Perhaps, for most out there,
it's a constant struggle of search,
till their last breath...

It's just those few,
on whom books are written,
and movies are made,
It's just those few who get featured,
due to their persistence or luck, who knows...?

But for the rest,
the lyrics of a love song,
are mere lyrics,
and an unending, agonizing hope...

But as someone said,
Hope is a good thing,
Maybe, the best of things !!
