It happened again...
I know not what I did, but it is love I know for sure,
Cause I felt it so deep down in my heart,
Had I hidden for long, I would be pained,
Though not that everything happens in vain.
It’s good that you know it now,
You don’t have to find secret meanings in my words,
As my emotions have opened the floodgates,
I know for sure that it has done some damage.
If there is anything that makes me sad,
Is the fact that I can never see you again,
I would have to write my poems with my eyes closed now,
Cause I know you cannot control my dreams.
It hurts me bad when this thought comes to my mind,
That I might have betrayed you as a friend,
I said my likeness is not more than mere friendship,
It is not that I lied, I never knew when and how it turned into love.
I know you would be thinking, how dare I open up my heart,
With hardly a few days of knowing,
I don’t know anything and please don’t ask me why,
All I know is that I found a connection.
If my words have hurt you, let me tell you this,
You are not at mistake, the problem is for sure mine.
I truthfully apologise for everything that has been the cause of any grief,
It is hard for me to explain how profound are my thoughts for you.
Last but not the least, I would cherish those very few moments with you,
To illuminate my path of life forever,
Let me dream just once more before you depart,
And listen to me as I tell you how it feels.
I remember the day I felt you tiptoed into my heart on bare feet,
Yet the sound of your gentle footsteps gave you away,
When I caught you looking at me,
Your face glowed like the fine rays of the morning sun.
Just to tease me with your indifference,
You dropped your golden hair carelessly on your shoulders,
I wondered where could all of this divine beauty come from,
Like having taken a dip in magical waters…
