A LAST LOOK AT THE HOSTEL COURTYARD....
It was a lonely expanse,
But our laughter sprang it to life.
We could sit for hours and hours
Chatting and gossiping
Ruminating on the theories of life
And the courtyard listened,
Guarding our words.
A fight with a friend
And the walls would see our tears,
They would pacify our souls
Releasing all the fears.
Showers of rain
And we would rush to dance
To the melodies of silence,
The weather leaving us in a trance.
The walks would never end,
With earplugs on
And maggi along
A perfect dining arena it was!
Now I behold that last look
Before I leave back for home
No more talks
No more secrets locked
No more dreams it would absorb
The chairs stay as they are
It is welcoming new faces.
Wish it could stop us
For a little more while.
