Wonder Why….??

She:
I passed him
Then waited
Waited for him to say
Say the words I longed for
But there he was
Busy with others, unconscious
For a moment
Our eyes met, lingered
I felt his lips move
As if wanted to say
My heart missed a beat
…….surely he will say
But then the gaze dropped
The fantasy stopped
He went his way
And I trudged on my path
---------------------
He:
I felt her come
Her scent filling the air
For a moment
I lost myself in her
Felt like a drop in a river
Everything felt at a stop, dead
I felt a bond with her, a thread
For a moment
Our eyes met, lingered
My hopes soared high
…….Surely she will say
But her eyes were waiting
Waiting for something I knew not
With an unheard sigh
She went her way
And I trudged on my path
---------------------
She:
Then he said
Uttered the words I longed for
My heart thumped
Breaking the cage of ribs with joy
The immense joy made me flutter
But then my dream shattered
Shattered in thousand pieces
And those pieces hurt my eyes
I wish-he would say
Some day, Some time
---------------------
He:
I can’t find words
To express my feelings
The beat of my heart
Uttering her name, only her
The dreams of my eyes
Starts and ends on her, only her
I wish- these blowing winds
Waft my feelings to her
I wish-she would say
Some day, some time
---------------------
And then the world saw
Their love dieing in their hearts
As they moved apart
To their destinies
In their own lives
With only the words
…….. “I wish”
Both dreaded to say
Speak the words they longed for
Waited for other, “You”
To say- I care, I cherish…… “I love you”
---------------------
Wonder why this happens
Why love can’t form words
Can’t be expressed, can’t be felt
Why it dies in “I wish…”
Why both have to suffer
Having feelings in heart
But faces a mere blank page
Waiting for other to express
