Waiting could be so painful
I had  never realized
until I fell in love with a phantom
far far away yet near my heart
What  a fool I am to love
a mere shadow, a sweet dream
run after a mirage love-thirsty
knowing yet not believing
phantoms, dreams and mirages
are least solace for the heart
boosters of pain and agony
ensuing from one-way love
but love is love in all forms
will fly to the moon
 even with a one way ticket
or lucky enough to get back to earth
if his beloved’s stone-heart melts somehow!!
