Have I forgotten him?
Haven't seen him for so many years
Haven't heard the voice I once loved
I'm not sure I want to either
No I don't
So does that mean I've forgotten him?
I'll lower my eyes if he ever comes in front
Pretending I never saw him at all
And wishing the same were true as well
That he were not there
So does that mean I've forgotten him?
All day i pray that i don't think of him
So it's him in my mind anyway
The farther I push him the closer he comes
Still I try
So does that mean I've forgotten him?
If I sat and thought of people and the world
He was the first one to come to my mind
If I thought of myself, there was no me without him
So I stopped thinking
So does that mean I've forgotten him?
Years have passed, seasons have changed
I've grown older, farther, wiser, stronger
I don't know where he is, how he is, if he is
And i don't want to
Doesn't that mean I've forgotten him?

Are Angad, every emotion does not have to be actually experience to be written. Things can be felt, and imagined. That's how it'll become a little bit of EVERYTHING!

Dear Anon, i told u na..u dont have to leave ur comments anonymously.
|anyway, this one..well...i wrote it in a lecture class yesterday, some 5-10 mins...i dunno if u call that a sponti, but this is an easy subject to write :P
About the tense part, it is deliberate. I used presenet initially, but then i changed the sense of the lines.
they now read..
whenever I used to sit down to think, it was him all over my mind. so then i decided and stopped thinking ever since.Got it?

Pradyot, well only now I noticed that what u say is somewhat right. But then it has to be coincidence only..
|I just write things spontaneously and post without much thought.

Lekin mujhe lagta hai ki koi bhi emotion imagine kiya ja sakta hai.
