Another face in the crowd

You were just another face in the crowd
Before we gathered random connections
And for random moments spent together
Wove few fanciful dreams of togetherness

And after so many years and events passed
As we now lost all connections between us
I guess I'm back to what I was once before
I am again just another face in the crowd

Fifteen Years Still Waiting

Fifteen years ago upon the college balcony
Our young and overenthusiastic drummer
Had set up his drum kit and dusted it twice
Waiting for his bandmates for above an hour

It was on a weekend when college was empty
But fest committee and overzealous performers
Ever active preparing for their minute of fame
But our drummer on top floor was bit impatient

So he called up his then best friend and crush
To vent out his anger and bitter frustration
That his remaining bandmates were so slack
Unknowing that the friend dated the singer

His friend called the singer and they finally arrived
The rehearsals did take place and then performance
But sadly the eccentric lineup for the band didn't last
When drummer soon found about the concealed affair

Years the drummer drifted playing here and there
No lineup ever lasted, no band was ever formed
And he made new friends, over years built career
But the dream remained - of forming a true band

Fifteen years seemed to have passed in a jiffy
Now the drummer set up his kit at own home
And he is now waiting for a jam this weekend
With the same singer who married his crush
