I Miss You

Wrinkled white satin sheets

are lying untouched for weeks.

Your ear ring which was missing

is found underneath.

All the days, with you, I had

is all that I ever have.

I can’t forget all those nights,

the only time when I felt alive.

I can still smell your hair

hovering all over my face.

The way you rushed my blood

that I was out of breath.

Now when I go to bed

all alone at night.

I can still feel that

you are by my side.

Remembering the touch of your skin

still shivers me.

And I wake up so many times at night

wishing just one more time I can see you beside me.

I know you are with someone else right now.

Thinking of it makes my heart thaw.

Why can’t you be with the one you should be?

Why ain't you with me?

Since the time you are not around,

everything in my life is chafed brown.

This place which, for a while, was home

is now a concrete coffin and haunting me down.

Oh! You are not the one I want to live with.

You are the one I can’t live without.

Heart never heals, but it does get stronger.
