When you walk towards me from the distance Waving those slender hands, ivory white, Calling my name aloud so familiarly, I’m always caught completely unprepared. I’ve been watching you as you move across The vast room talking to all these strangers, Laughing at their jokes, whispering secrets, Holding a drink in your long fingers; Dark raven hair on white shoulders, it’s like You’ve walked out of a book I read long ago. You have streaked through my faltering heart Like a meteor blazes through the dark skies. There is so much I would like to tell you. If you had my heart and felt the way I do, If you could see yourself through my eyes, All my purposeless days would be at an end. But instead, I raise my love weary hand, With the practiced ease of one long in use, And put on this casual, disinterested smile And then nonchalantly wave back at you. Diptesh Ghosh
