Meet me halfway let's stroll, my love
Let's lay at the flower gardens
Let's play by the river side
Let our eyes behold the beauty of the sun on the river surface
And how the river meets the clouds at a distance

Meet me halfway lets stay, my love
Let's hold as the cloud darkens
Let's cry when the tears can't hide
Let our eyes realise the sorrow in each other's face
And how much we are enduring the instance
I'll wait in patience,
Until I see your face,
Until the next time I see you smile.
But I won't rush it
The way I feel.
I love the anticipation,
The way you give me things
To think about.

I'll learn to live through the ache,
I'll learn self-control,
And learn to hold still
Until the next time I see you.
The best stories are told
In pieces.
Not that there's anything wrong
With instant gratification,
Nonetheless,
Waiting allows that time between us
To linger and to grow.

So that the next time I see your face,
I am fully there,
Appreciative of that moment
A kiss that waits in the dark,
Waiting for the light of your lips.
Knowing that a week apart,
This kiss only grows,
Stretched thin, built in
Anticipation.

But I won't rush it.
Every episode is like this,
My favorite show.
If I were to watch all of you now,
Then there wouldn't be anything left.
So I choose to be patient,
My attention solely focused
On you.
Love moves slow,
Although some moments
Move fast.
There is always time to rewatch
And to think
But only after we've taken our time
And lived to do so.
I'll wait patiently
Until the next time I see your face

The cup of tea
sat cold on the table,
I waited for her,
but the chair remained empty.

वो पहली मुलाक़ात, सामान्य से हालात,
वो तेरा चुलबुलापन, होठों पर मुस्कुराहट।
जब भी मन मायूस हुआ,
तुझे याद किया, तेरा नाम लिया।

बेसब्र कर देता है मुझे, अगली मुलाक़ात का इंतज़ार,
याद कर लेता वो मुस्कान, आ जाती है जान।
फिर से एक दिन काट लिया,
तुझे याद किया, तेरा नाम लिया।

कैसे कहूँ मोहब्बत है तुझसे, अपना बनाना चाहता हूँ,
अक्सर दिल की बातों को, स्याही में ला पाता हूँ।
सहम जाता सोचकर, कि तूने इंकार किया,
तुझे याद किया, तेरा नाम लिया।

जुटा रहा हूँ होंसला, लाऊंगा जुबां पर,
स्याही के लफ़्ज़ों का, कर दूंगा इज़हार।
इंतज़ार है अगली मुलाकात का, इस रात दिल संभाल लिया,
तुझे याद किया, तेरा नाम लिया।

धड़क रहा दिल ज़ोरों से, जो थामे हूँ तेरा हाथ,
इन नन्ही सी उँगलियों से, मिलता है विश्वास।
हैं साथ तेरा जो मेरे, पा गया जहान,
इन प्यारी सी आँखों में, देख लूं कायनात।

लगता जैसे हैं हमारा, जनम जनम का साथ,
काटना चाहता हूँ, हर सुख दुःख तेरे साथ,
आँख खुली, एह्साह हुआ, सपना मेरा टूट गया,
तुझे याद किया, तेरा नाम लिया।
unspoken love, longing, and fear of rejection, focusing on anticipation, memories, and emotional conflict.
"Ummm... I like you," she said,
her voice a trembling whisper.
Beads of sweat glistened on her brow,
breath uneven,
her heart pounding like fragile thunder.

She stood in quiet stillness,
anticipation pooling in her eyes,
her gaze fixed,

And then, I felt it—
a rush of warmth blooming in my chest,
nerves tangling with wonder,
as if her words were rewriting my very being.

For a moment, time stood still—
and that was when
I felt spring in the winter.

Serendipity
True to through
Though, a rainbow travel far
The question of might, is openly should

A house of energy's
Quiet critique
Halt and habit, specific
Live sincerity's life well, we have each

Doors may close
And suspect a chaste
Is a courage to pose
The other side of promises, fast

The conquering of death, with dread
Ahead is a boding continue
Of what we know, is a living lead
To the sigh of consummation, with liberty due...

We see the creation, the commotion
Owed a love, by the reality of sakes
Made to keep a rolling serve of devotion
To the mercy of us, all of a lover's might, with which we make...
knock knock, who's there, serendipity's rise...

Forever counting sheep,
Gotta be up to infinity
I'm sure though,
Any day now,
I'll get to see what my dreams might be

For a moment we’re in perfect harmony.
There is no fear. No worry.
Finding purpose in each other.
Whether the shadows creep through the night.
Or the sun lives out loud during the day.
There is but a moment
Followed by an embrace, then a click.


Unlocking parts of you that I only anticipate.
Though circumstances may vary.
This moment I relive, even away from you.
The way that you sigh, the way that you
Twist and the way that you turn.
No matter where I’ve been.
You tumble then you click for all to hear.


A sigh released into forever.
Echoing down its hallway.
No matter how tight you squeeze.
I am here.
No matter how stubborn you may become.
I am here.
Until the day I no longer exist.


No matter how many hands I may pass through.
I can never replace the way that you hold me.

Through its bend.
It hangs on to a promise.
One that hasn’t been fulfilled.
Its colors now dull,


Cascading from behind the clouds.
Bruised yet, fleeting in the blink of an eye.
It searches. Finding reason to smile.
The sun peeks its head out from behind the clouds.
Catching a glimpse of its beauty.


Someday.
Love won’t feel so constrained.
Giving it something to wrap its arms around.
Through its bend.
A brighter day is just around the corner
