Its been a while
since I have felt this way
But now that I do
it feels like the only way
its supposed to ever be
just you and me
and the magic that is ‘us’!
Am not about pretty roses
sweet smiles, sugary proses
I’ll be your anchor in rough seas
When its too sunny to smile
I’ll be the breeze
And after a bad dream
when I shiver at night
Just hold me tight
So I know you care
And no matter what
you will always be there
to hold me close, keep me warm
Through to the dawn
through all the storm.
Don’t bring me the stars
Brown teddy, gifts or flowers
I need no words
no compliments old or new
All I need on my day
….is you.
Notes - This one is not a great piece of poetry, I understand; in terms of technique, meaning, style or even choice of words. But what I like it for is its flow and simplicity. I was cleaning up the store room, a day before Diwali, when I started humming these lines. It was as if singing one's favourite song after years, not knowing you still remember the lyrics so well!
