“You and I”

Here are hopes to glitter in the sky
There are limits to make her shy
Here is the approach to uncover the ambition
There is pledge even after incessant deny
Sparkling eyes all set to compete with wind
But blinking eyes asking me the reason to fly
Naughty moon smiling on my defeat
Crazy lips inspiring me to stand high
Early morning breeze asking me about the mid-night dream
Tears are falling into her lap to dry
Now, my surrendered soul is about to cry
She holds my hands, feeling that emotion of “I”.
