Sad Eyes

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
