Whither gone?
Whither are gone
That pomp, that love, that concern,
Those looks, those romantic moments, those dreams,
That thrill, that eagerness, that search,
Those intoxicating evenings and those sleepless nights?
When nothing mattered, nothing else mattered
Except you, your thoughts and your love!
I could bear all the taunts, all the pain,
All the sorrows and all the thorns;
Only in the shadow of that Love,
Only in the hope of that togetherness.
Whither are gone those sweet days?
All that vanished so soon!
What is left is this long life;
This long life of struggle, hurry, tension,
Routine, madness, worry and despair!
We see each other everyday
Yet we do not SEE!
Our minds are always occupied by others-
The children, the career, the family, the money,
The sickness, the food and everything else!
Yet I carry on only in the hope
That I will get back those days;
Those days when I need not search for your love
In your concern for my kids,
In your concern for small little worldly things,
In you irritations, in your quarrels with me,
In all the routine affairs!
Will I get back those romantic days-
When you are all mine, only MINE;
And we have all the time in the world
To see each other, feel each other and understand each other!
If not in my youth
At least in the evening of my life!
Oh God! Give us enough time!
Close
Beautiful. Could feel the longing and desire for days gone by to return

Hi Narasu, those times will come again, definitely when the kids fly the nest.
Ofcourse they can come sooner, if we remember to stop and smell the roses!
