I had learnt to live like this,
Waiting and watching,
Hoping and praying…
And told myself a hundred times,
The day won’t come…
But every time I choose to withdraw,
You bring me up again into it…
You express, confess and adore,
And then after the tide recedes, disappear…
This time when you do it again,
I’m afraid how long it’ll last…
‘Coz I’ve seen this place a thousand times,
I’ve felt this all before…
I choose not to be happy this time around,
Just to save my sanity from getting eroded…
But what if dreams creep into my nights, every night,
What if thoughts invade my mind every now and then…
I’ll stop them, I’ll prohibit them,
I’ll not let you destroy me… Not again…
But if its for keeps, if it’ll happen this time,
Let me not lose the excitement,
Let me not wait for long…
Yes! I’m waiting! Waiting for the day,
Watching the magic unfold,
Hoping for the best,
And praying that it comes soon…
‘Coz I know and I’m sure, it’ll come one day,
Sooner or later…For all the reasons that might not make any sense to you,
You’ll be here, explaining to me, giving me the hiatus…
‘Coz how much I try, I can’t stop thinking about it,
How much I cry, I still can’t help crying over it…
‘Coz I’ve seen it in your eyes,
I’ve heard the unsaid words,
I’ve read the heavenly omens…
I’ve always waited and will still wait…
I just wish you come soon, before its actually too late…
