Within you, within me

a poem by Deeksha Marur

There’s a place where I am myself,
The crazy-fun-loving me.
There’s a place where I can tell you secrets
Not only mine but everybody else’s too
There’s a place where I can talk for hours
Even if I don’t make an iota of sense
There’s a place where I find the warmth and love I need
That place is within you, within me!

Within you, within me lay the foundation of all our true spirits
Within us is where all the truth and trust lay
Within you is where my heart is and my trust is deposited
Within me is where I can find myself
Within you, within me… that’s where our souls lay!

There’s a place where I get to cry and still not shed any tears
There’s a place where we get to see the true colours of somebody
There’s a place where my emotions are safely deposited and kept
There’s a place where my mundane life comes to an end and starts afresh
That place is within you, within me!
