Burn for You

 

Once upon a 17 years ago,

When the rains metaphored school,

When to look at you asked for excuses,

When sitting & smiling behind you,

I knew that I burn for you...

Few months & misunderstandings later,

Few thoughts & mad dreams later,

Few stares & teases later,

Few smiles & talks later,

I knew that I burn for you...

Half years passed like a blow,

We reconnected at a lost place,

And promised to remember us,

Hoping you to fall hard this time,

I knew that I burn for you...

The later years brought me jitters,

The beaches seem intriguing,

The impatience for one little 'Hi',

The wait slowly cuts my soul,

I knew that I burn for you...

But.. your attention I quenched for,

But.. your love I asked for,

But.. your touch I dreamt of,

Happened to happen late & unfair,

I knew that I burn for you...

Once upon a 17 years later,

The wishing happiness remain one sided ,

Still passing the memories asking 'what if?',

Questions left unanswered forever,

And I knew that I'll burn for you...
