The Mask

There comes a day
When I don’t see you around
I just keep looking
To find you nowhere

Baffled, perplexed
I wonder
How can you vanish?
Into thin air

Was it ever you?
Or my imagination?
Was it a dream?
Did I just wake up?

Did you wear a mask then?
Or are you wearing one now?
Are you trying to hide from me?
Or hide me from them?

Thousands of doubts
Run in my head
But this time around
You’re not here to resolve them

There comes another day
Time to wear the mask again
Forget the grin, put back the smile
I promise, they’ll like you again!

Smiles,
Swapnil..
