best thing i could have had

those were the times when i was alone
struggling for the time to fly away
because of the unbearable pains and agony
that time was hurting and pinching
for someone who was so close
who was so dear, was the one whom i had started hating
and i realised its not even easy to hate
it takes an effort to hate the one you love
when he insults you, ignore you...
and so much that you start hating him.
and those were the times when i was blue
when my shoulders seemed so week
when eyes couldn't see so far away to happiness
when my lips couldn't move to speak out and shout
when my heart was not the same courageous
and my hands trembled to even shake hands
and trust was all torn like pieces of paper
those were the times when i needed you
and i know now that i needed you only
for you are the one who gave a new meaning to life
not by giving strength to face all that
but just being with me and forgetting all that
giving me all i wanted at that time
and making me realise that the world is not bad
and taking my hand to love
a true love with no bounding no selfishness
and i realised that dark days are not long enough
a new beginning can make you forget the past darkness
not forever, but dimming the memories
and letting you go ahead with life
and you are that new beginning in my life
and i cannot thank you for it
the word is so small for what you have done
all i can say is that it was the best thing i could have had.
