I kept gazing at you, not knowing how many hours have passed,

wondering whether you know about me,

wondering whether you really look like this,

my dry lips cracked,deep in your thoughts,

but then came my own people,

to take away my most precious possession.

But little did they know, that you live within me,

little did they know that you are closer to me than the air and the blood.

Thought they that i am mad,

But little did they know, that i am dancing with you,

little did they know that i see you everywhere.

Trying were they, to bring me to reality and make me realise my duty,

but little did they know that my actions and reactions are you,

my dream and reality is you,

little did they know that without you, there is no me.

Little did they know that once i met a fire,

blazing higher than sky, burning more than sun,

glowing more than lightening.

And in i walked,

bestowed my deeds and done,

bestowed my past and present,

surrendered my future and dreams,

gave my own people.

Granted i the permission to the fire,

to burn them with their sheer existence,

prayed I, for people,to grant them their wishes.

Came from there just me, which i consecrated to you.

Burning and crying in devotion, i let it get sanctified, for you.

Little did they know that everyday i built a castle, on the seashore,

and everytime the waves sweep it away,

and the next time i built it even closer, for the waves to declare it his,

for i thought the sand grains will tell you where i am.

Little did they know that i build them under incinerating sun,

and roaring wind,

for i thought the nature will manifest,

for i thought one day the universe will guide.

When raised the waves to colossal,

i closed my eyes surrendering,

fear of being without you,

fear of losing your memories and taken away,

for i understood nomatter what,i will love you,for that is me,

nomatter what,i will be yours,for that is me.

Little do they know that, that day i felt you the closest.

little do they know,that when i opened my eyes,

there you were,waiting for me,

as a tear rolled down your cheeck,i saw all my suffering in you,

your smile told me everything i ever wanted to listen,

your eyes told me that the wait is over.

Little do they know that,that day i saw me fading into us

incessantly eternally.
