The Night Was Scary Without You

Part-1

The flight was on time and so was I,
But I knew you were not nearby.
 I was so excited to feel lonely,
It was supposed to be a short wait only.
I came alone, waited alone,                                                                   
There were people around but I talked to none.
                                            I looked left, then right, then I looked at the roof,
                                            Reading all the posters and advertisements in a loop.
                                            I watched people come and go,
                                            Trying to understand the stories I didn't know.
                                            I came alone, waited alone,
                                            There were people around but I talked to none.
I finally called a friend,
It brought my silence to an end.
Well talking is better than waiting,
Clock pendulum oscillating.
I came alone, waited alone,
There were people around but I talked to none.
                                            Waiting was not a torture,
                                            Until came an officer.
                                            He told me that the airport must be closed,
                                            I went blank as I was shocked.
                                            I came alone, waited alone,
                                            There were people around but I talked to none.

The Night Was Scary Without You

Part-2

Standing at the gate,
For the first time I wished you were not late.
Night seemed so dark and cold,
Afraid of any new twist next moment may unfold.
I came alone, waited alone,
There were no people around and I could talk to none.
                                               Waiting room was big,
                                               Not big enough to make me sit.
                                               Fear, anxiety was all I felt,
                                               Introspection of my decisions made me sweat.
                                               I came alone, waited alone,
                                               There were no people around and I could talk to none.
What made me so scared I thought,
May be I was haunted by the pessimistic ghost.
You were also tensed,
Pressing your car throttle to maximum, I sensed.
I came alone, waited alone,
There were no people around and I could talk to none.
                                               Finally, you came and others too,
                                               I made a quick prayer, "God, Thank You!".
                                               Shouting, "Do you have any clue,
                                               The night was scary without you!".
                                               I came alone, waited alone,
                                               There were no people around and I could talk to none.
