In the lonely hours of the night wrapped in silence

When sleep refuses to enter through the doors of tired eyelids

As the dark night shod in velvet slippers slowly creeps away

While I listen to the haunting plaintive symphony of the wind

And count the moments that seem like aeons or has time fallen asleep?

Stars with feeble twinkles are like pebbles on the indigo sands

And the moon’s radiance only reminds me of your sweet smile

Laughter of strangers echoes in the quiet as tears of silent distress

Flow down the pale cheeks of my sad countenance

I sit lonely in a crowd of nonchalant, indifferent people unwanted, unknown

Memories of togetherness come floating in with the faint moonbeams

I miss the crook of your arm warm on my shoulder

And your chest where I hid my sleepy face with contended sigh

I yearn to share triffles in blabber while you listen in silent attention

I crave your feather soft kisses on my brow at dawn and at night

Your cosy embrace I desire when chilly winds of indifference make me shiver

You are my completion, I am nothing without you

I am just your shadow, your reflection, insignificant away from you

You are the light of my life , the star shining on my zenith

And I want to run back in your arms crossing this distance

To be with you by your side forever and ever…
