Longing....

I wish you could see,

The deep inside of me,

I wish you would hear,

My inner voices, my subtle fears,

I wish you would know,

Why my heart's as cold as snow...

There have been times when I felt lost,

Nowhere to go & tears turned to frost,

I wish you could feel,

How I loved when you made me kneel...

There would always be a song for the broken heart,

But those words don't help, they seem sour as tart,

I wish you could see,

That light inside of the hollow tree...

And when you walked away,

A soul seemed to lose its way,

In the darkness of the night,

Just a whiff and it vanished out of sight,

I wish you could see,

How sometimes even the shadows flee...

The winters set in,

And it felt so cold,

"I am not worth you",

So I was told,

Life seems so vintage,

And love - a mere act on stage,

I wish you could see,

How some plays suddenly become emotion free...

I walked ahead a few miles more,

In search of a newer life,

Skeptic, dreamy, blank & not knowing,

What further life has in store,

But then I found someone, whom I had long ignored,

That was me, the unexplored,

I wish you could see,

What your love meant to me,

We both are happy,

May be you a little less,

It's a pinch with a subtle hurt,

It's a wound we'll always caress,

But what is done is done,

I hope you have a life of happiness and fun,

And just that I wish you could see,

How I'd always love thee...
