We don’t talk now
I understand you are busy
Surprisingly, my mind doesn’t plead
Your memories to not become a history
My feelings for you play silently
Arousing everything but sadness
And I wonder why there is no void
Why I don’t feel cramped
Even with your reflection’s occupancy
With you as my guide
I discovered the greatness of brains and numbers
Honestly, I still feel the awe of it
For what use are skills and experiences, if not appreciation
I have known being a source of your pride
But how come there is such detachment at your end
May be your sources kept expanding to the extent
That I became a lost fraction of even thousands
You gave me your clothes when I was soaked
Laughed and gave me directions when I got lost on the road
Gave me the stage to show, and to answer
I helped your daughter cross French and English waters
But I couldn t help her with German
How could I draw a map, when I didn't know the land
So I was kicked to the curb, to never be contacted
You told me to not become a calculator
But I don't remember ever being calculative
And I never held anything against you For the free and reasonable me would never approve
Teachers like you are still the reason
I like to be a student, through and through.
Students have a few teachers in their lives, but teachers get a lot of students in their lifetime. And I felt the bond is not quite as strong with the teachers as I may have perceived.
