Saw Love Aaj Kal today. Was ok. Some moments in the movie reminded me of a poem I had read long time back. I think this poem is by an anonymous poet. I had memorized one of its paragraphs that I like the best :) It went like this
By absence this good means I gain
That I can catch her
Where none can watch her
In some close corner of my brain
There I embrace and kiss her
And so I both enjoy and miss her
:) sweet!

Love the poem ... btw liked the movie also..
Yea.I liked the movie too but, it was not as impactful as Jab We Met.The poem is simple and lovely. I found it online somewhere..
Absence, hear thou my protestation
John Moses Hoskyns
Against thy strength,
Distance and length:
Do what thou canst for alteration;
For hearts of truest mettle
Absence doth join, and time doth settle.
Who loves a mistress of such quality,
He soon hath found
Affection's ground
Beyond time, place, and all mortality.
To hearts that cannot vary
Absence is present, time doth tarry.
My senses want their outward motions,
Which now within
Reason doth win
Redoubl'd in her secret notions;
Like rich men that take pleasure
In hiding, more than handling, treasure.
By absence this good means I gain,
That I can catch her
Where none can watch her,
In some close corner of my brain.
There I embrace and kiss her,
And so I both enjoy and miss her.
@ Anon: Thanks
