When the wind caressed me,
I’d wish that your arms embraced me…
When the rain showered on me,
I’d wish to drown in your eyes…
When the sun beamed upon us,
I’d wish to see a shadow,
of us and not mine alone…
When the snow left me shivering,
I’d wish that I could melt in your love…
And, when the autumn leaves shed on us,
I’d wish that I could walk by the lane,
with you in a bridal dress…
I gave up all of me to you,
my wishes to fate,
my expectations to reality,
and all that I’d think of,
in my tiny little fantasy land.
only to enter a world,
a world of reality filled with obstacles;
to end with you and I!
Oh! How I wish I could,
elope to my dreamland,
where I had been assured
a happily-ever-after;
and escape from this chaotic life,
where you and I aren’t assured ;
the thought that makes me all jittery…
I had always wished that,
I’d never need to write,
about us or just you,
because I want you to live in my life,
and not in my poems!
P.S. Well, not everything in life happens the way we want because the main controller of each one of our lives, God, is watching over us, from up there! And, he’d definitely want only the best for us…Keep calm and go with the flow!
