How difficult it is to understand this life

With all that we people want are different things 

With all we want are the things which are mortal 

And not anything that can define our existence 

We all fight for the things that do nothing good for us 

What about the things meant for us 

What about love, respect and family 

We all have never had replies for things like these 

We all have lived this life waiting for a reply to the things we asked for 

What if the questions we ask may change our lives forever 

It would have been an easy life if we knew them 

Instead of waiting for ages for a yes 

We had asked for a lot of things 

From things like love, peace and happiness 

All of us wished it to be yes 

Growing old just waiting for that reply

I had asked someone to be there for me 

From my testing times to my victories 

My vulnerable points to my strengths 

I just wanted her to be by my side where ever I go 

To what state of mind I am in

The wait for replies to these questions does kill us 

Thinking what if it is a no 

Will everything be the same after that 

What if she never replies will I be able to focus on my goals 

What if it is a yes will she be with me till the end 

These replies do change the entire nature of ours 

How one yes can change our mood and low days to being the best days 

How one no can create bitterness in our lives and relationships 

These replies kill people every time 

The wait for these replies are torture in itself
