When was the last meeting?
Remembering loved ones

When was the last meeting?
________By Aranna Hasan Delwar.
I don't remember, I can't even remember
When and where we ate together
Or I sat in a coffee shop and enjoyed the story
Talking softly while reading a book in the library
I rode a rickshaw around Dhaka city.
What flowers did you put in my shell?
I shuffled the memory pages
I don't remember exactly
When was the last time we sat face to face?
The two of us were drenched in a sudden downpour in the hot afternoon
I walked hand in hand along the busy sidewalk
Did you buy a pendant on the footpath?
Dive into the sea of thoughts and spend the night and dawn
still couldn't remember
When was the last time you saw me?
When did I see you very closely?
The intoxicating smell of your sweaty body
When I dived into the wet chest,
I don't see you for a long time
I don't even remember your face.
