Are you talking to me?
I was in a deep slumber
Unheeded words become audible
Stirring my motionless state
I find it hard to decipher
The words, the feelings and meaning
The world around me is away from you
I have to squint from the awakening
Your sudden call to revive my feelings
Is that the same you?
The flashback of us floundering
And our inability to communicate
Did we not find the right words?
Or was it, our hearts grew apart?
Although we heard each other’s heart screaming
In agony and torn apart by the divide
Even our lips quivered, not eager to kiss
Just the vague looks in our eyes
Looking at each other, yet seeing through
Now that this new awakening
How am I supposed to react?
Let’s not converse in our usual language
And go beyond words to express our hearts
Maybe our hearts yearning to connect
Without the crutches of words
Let there be no props and only pure emotions
In the stage of our life, let’s don a new role
Worthy of true lovers
