You were the star fallen from heavenly sky stood before me As I get consumed in your luminance. You were the dream Nurtured in my eyes for a hundred years Now came true in your shape. You were the voice a melody played in my mind when there was a lull before a storm that could do me no harm. You were the hunger that could never be satisfied A thirst, never be quenched left me craving for more. You were the promise never broken, lived forever like a golden thread bind our hearts into one. You were the puzzle scattered all over in pieces with endless clues and hints but Never complete without me. You were the drug that kept me alive As every breath faltered, In your arms, I slept safe and sound. You were the rain that drenched me with zeal to conquer the world, washed away my doubt. You were the truth that guided me through the charming lies, the unworldly expectations of this masquerade. You were the kiss that touched my soul, held me mesmerized from time immemorial.
If only you could feel what I felt, If only you could hear what I said under my breath. A whisper. These days, they just fly by but the nights are long, daunting, weary, every minute hauls itself, fighting to make it to the dawn. You make me feel helpless like a rose in desert waiting to be saved. My thoughts are hollow, my mind gets dysfunctional, my heartbeat loses its rhythm when you walk past me. Needless to say, you affect me more than anyone could. Like I am no more in possession of my own soul. Not fair. You take over my senses, You make me weak from head to heel whenever you are around. Like a spell sprinkled in the air. If only I could find some means to let this feeling out, forsake it let it dissolve into nothingness. But every time I close my eyes, I feel you. I dream of you. Like your arms wrapped around me, I could feel your breath on my neck. It makes me feel safe. Protected. Like a pearl guarded in its shell. Like a memory replicated in a diary. If only, we were close If only, we were best friends, you would have read my mind, set straight the puzzled thoughts. Because lately, I have caught myself smiling gleefully in the mirror, counting stars in the night sky, humming tunes in my sleep. What is this feeling so strong? that every time I see your face, hear your deep voice, I get carried away, I lose sanity, I'm numb. Is this feeling Love? A Curse or a Cure?
