A Way So Distant...


Great Heights I achieve,
Yet you stand higher than me.
Thus you disprove what I believe,
And ask me to look out for more than I see.

I now sit by the windw...
I stare out at the sky,
There's no hint of me being low,
And you there, up above me, high.

You're miles away, dad...
I miss you, you being at a different place,
Yet I'm your same lad,
Who never even gave a thought to miss you, when you were here, at my place.

Its not as if we aren't in contact,
Nor as if we won't ever meet.
But can't bear your unoccupied biking-hat,
I now need to have an alert sleep.

I know, I'll be joining you over in no time...
It'll be the same, all over again,
At your place, we shall be together then akin.
But the current scenario is what I see,
You see, I still refuse to drive your bike, in disdain.

It is a way, I know very near, to travel there to you...
Yet a way, my heart says, much distant, that's one in a few...

I miss you, dad,
I miss you.
