In the pages of books, I found you,

I have seen you in my sights too.

In the broken stars, in scattered dreams,

I have seen you in beautiful views too.

A face among thousands, a gaze among many,

I have seen you in captivating sights too!

Who is he? For whom we wait?

Or is this just, a twist of fate?

A beautiful chance, a sweet design?

What if you’re real, a dream come true?

How to paint, the scene anew,

When you’re before me, shining bright.

A dream between, reality’s guise,

A dawn within, before my eyes.

Forever bound, yours and mine.

I fail at promises, I confess,

And secrets kept, I can’t suppress.

Trust, I falter, cannot keep,

From prying eyes, my soul to sleep.

I held desires, a heart’s own plea,

How many dreams, unreached by me!

We’ve learned to live with sorrows deep,

Some we forgot, some fast asleep.

You see our smiles, and say we’re glad,

But who has seen the tears we’ve had?

No one sees the hurt I bear,

Only the bitter words they share.

I am selfish, with sorrows weighed,

Oppressed, seeking a protective shade.

What is this state? A puzzling maze,

In what condition, through endless days?

I don’t know why, they hold such sway,

Over my thoughts, come what may.

I am not aware, of their embrace,

Nor do I see, their hidden face,

Then why this hope, a gentle art,

Of an unknown, within my heart?

Silence, a guard, with gentle hand,

Secrets kept, across the land.

Whispers loud, a quiet call,

In shadows deep, she shelters all.

A calming balm, for weary souls,

Silence is where the heart control.

With grace she speaks, a voice so clear,

Each word a song, for all to hear.

Silence falls, as she imparts,

Smiles bloom on all our hearts.

Thoughts, a fractured, fading trace,

From you to you, time and space.

Just me, yet a rebellious heart,

In thought, a dance, a work of art.

Helpless I wait, in longing deep,

He is the spring, where hopes do sleep.

The air today, a different scent,

The same old talk, the memories sent.

Her smile, a dance, now mocks,

Upon each face, it softly knocks.

We thought with her, the trials done,

But this mere thought, life’s undone.

When they meet, at last to see,

Who knows what will come to be.

Since you’re in thoughts, a world unknown,

A stranger to myself I’ve grown.

When you’re with me, near or far,

My heart’s own rhythm, knows no rest.

When you’re a dream, within my breast,

My life’s true love, my heart’s desire.

No name I’ve heard, nor sight I crave,

Keep your character, beyond the grave.

For me, respect, a solemn vow,

Then never meet, not here, not now.
