LOVE

I waited for twelve long years,

For you to come and wipe away my tears...

Every passing moment took away a part of my soul,

Happiness had faded

And sorrow was on the roll…

And then one day,

I saw you coming,

Music filled my heart

And kept on strumming…

I ran towards you,

To touch you, to feel you,But you stopped me midway

And silently took a step away…

I grabbed your hand

And drew you close,

Your breath seemed to heal all my woes…

I took off the veil from your face,

But you tried to hide something,

That you didn’t want me to trace…

And when I saw you, ‘You’ were not ‘you’ anymore,

For you face was burnt to the core…

You struggled to get away,

But I wanted you to stay…

You then asked me-

“Will you accept me this way”?

“Love binds hearts and not faces”

That was what I had to say…
