As i gazed up at the sky,
i felt the stars looking back at me.
it felt as if the starry tapestry was hushing something
in that beautiful chaotic silence.
the heart learnt the voices of contemplation
and soon it knew what it'd wanted all its life.
and as the realization sunk in, my heart screamed; it knew it'd wanted to do this all this far.
i'd never slept so wanting to meet to meet the dawn
to tell my love, what my heart so far had known.
after going so many suns, ignoring what should have been a stroll,
the cheer had now reached, my body and soul.
that day i'm sure i opened my eyes to the first sun ray
ran through the meadows, without stripping the land of hay.
reached to his land and took out the rose
crafted in red
the color of love.
a woman with a gentle voice told me this boy had left
for someone he thought love was what he felt.
realization sunk in again, but of something i'd loved not to know.
i handed the woman the flower
she was inquisitive of what was it for.
but the words never came;
for they couldnt;
or maybe they didn't dare to!
i sit today, miles apart and times far,
gazing at the dusking horizon
feeling a calm breeze
and wonder what it is that has caused my lips to curl up...
if it's the setting sun or the touch of the breeze...
but heart echoed a laugh and gave a tickle
by sending to me one wonderful fact....
the smile is because, now i know
that some secrets are going to die with only me...
