My eyes are wet with dew,
you didn't even know it was for you.
My dreams are not sublime anymore,
close to reality and even far more.
I remember that moment,
when you recited the sonnet.
Told about your love for me,
and everyone else in the vicinity .
In the depth of that water,
I heard my dreams shatter.
I went ahead to embrace you,
to tell you I was happy for you.
We walked home that night,
trailing under the moon's bright.
Holding hands now and then,
as if nothing ever happened.
Bidding you farewell I said good-bye,
and closed the door with a big sigh.
Sitting on the stairs for a while,
wondered if I would ever smile.
I ran to the window to catch a glimpse,
to yell and say, come back please.
You had gone quite far by then,
with an intention to return again.
I wished with all my heart for you,
for all the things you have to do.
But I can't mask it anymore,
the emotions you could not know
