You

a poem by Shilpa Gandotra

You are my vision
Dreams so real
You’re in my heart
In my every heartbeat.
Like the sun and earth, we both meet
But the horizon is unseen.
Like two birds we fly
To distant lands, into the sky.
The journey is beautiful
The songs so sweet
I am longing to tell you
But silence won’t retreat.
Someday, somewhere, the ice will break
Our eyes will speak, what our lips don’t dare.
A word from you will do the wonder
The magic will cast a spell which I long for.
I promise to be strong
I promise to be true
Just say it once, say that you love me too.
