I reckoned you had long since forgotten about me
You were unknown, unheard of, and unreachable
Your voice’s scent and your kisses’ pressure
remains afresh on my mind…
There were times when I wanted to give you a bear hug
and shout your praises to everyone
There were times when I wanted to lay on your shoulders
and feel the warmth, loving you…
I sobbed and hunted for you, but you were imponderable
I nudged you, and waited for your chirrups
and finally, you retorted meekly
Where were you all these years?
Now when I feel your warmth, I see all the stars twinkling forever
and whispering to my ears, “You deserve to be loved!”
