Someone else

 
 

Sitting in the darkness
Recalling your face and talking to that in a silent language
Looking at it passionately and asked
"Why don't you please say 'yes'?"

Looking palely at the Moon, the distant friend
You may also see the same Moon
Please pass the message through it

Doubt increases as the Moon keeps silence
Desperately tried to keep my unhappiness down
Unable to hide it behind my unshaven face

Aimless I've become, aiming only at you
I was not carried away by the TIDES
Unmoved by the STORM
But shaken by the BREEZE

Evenif I see you daily and talk endlessly about all subjects
I hesitate to say "I want your love"
Tinkling eyes says "You won't refuse"
But something holds me back

If you say something I can't digest
Unthinkable as it is
- Someone else?

NO!

I say in no other words than "I LOVE YOU"
It's not just need of the hour
     or just nature-driven
     or just infatuation - but
I'm in love

Expectations are nothing but your love only
Seconds became minutes and
Minutes became months and
Months became years
But honey! I will wait even in another birth

Life has taught me the hardest way
So, telling myself that I'm not hurt

Somewhere in the world - A little heart
Nowhere before - Anyone like this
Given my heart to you
It is impossible to think
-Someone else?
