Await for your return….
I still remember the first time our gaze locked…you smiled i shied away
But you didnt give up
Then finally you stood up and walked.away dissapearing into the horizon… I panicked I looked around..fear filled my heart…and tears gathered in my eyes.. such deep emotions for a pure stranger?? How could that be possible?
I pushed aside your thoughts but they kept coming back like the strong waves…
In haste I stood up and walked towards the sea shore my heart in turmoil..my emotions entangled in the grips of confusion…
I pushed back my tears but they waged a war against me and flowed un ashamed…
I walked to no where ..just kept walking when suddenly my heart skipped a beat.
I turned and i saw you so close… those brown eyes left me mesmerized.
That gentle smile on your face melted my bones and when you said hello… I almost died with joy…
Your voice so sweet n deep left me in a daze that i havent recovered from till today.
Will you be.my bride? The question left me.frozen i kept staring ..then your touch brought me back to my senses…” yes ‘ was what slipped out before i could even think…I held my breath as u you gently tugged my hand puling me.foward…i had become like a puppet.
We walked for miles…I dunno what you said .. all i remember is that the sound of ur voice intoxicated my being….
The last i heard from you was…I will come for you..wait 4me…
Then you left..along with you went a part of me.that i never got back
You didnt come for me…..to date centuries later i still await for that day you will return.
