OH! FRIEND…

Thinking of you my mind slept,

Dreaming of days dead and gone

I felt the pulse.., fresh and smooth

As if in slumber night after night.

Every day was a linking shade,

Hiding your sunshine away from me,

I cherished your colours in every rainbow

Feeling the warmth of closeness, together.

Remember the day when our eyes met

For both the first and last instance,

I never cared to shake my hand

For I wished you near, long and for ever.

In your thoughts, my mind woke up

To touch and feel your presence near,

Confused and puzzled I bit my tongue

Realising the truth that you are vague...

Again one day you came to my world,

Early in the morn, waking me up

I never did care to hear the call

Forgetting the promises and words for the day.

Pretending sleep, I cheated my self

And stayed on still, amongst the stars

Wading through your heart, happy and safe

I yelled to my senses: It's night! It's night!
