This is soooo cheezy! But what can i say? I have a flair for the dramatic. I have more of these stuff. I wrote this at a time when i was an emotional wreck more than 3 years ago. I'm thankful that phase of my life is over... Catch a glimpse of that by reading on...

Can I?

- a poem of longing

Can I think of you?

Even if your mind wanders elsewhere...

When elsewhere is the face of another...

Can i dream of you?

Even if in your dreams you seem content...

Content with the love and care of some other...

Can i be jealous of others near you?

When there's no reason that i should be...

And being thus means fooling only me...

Can i be possessive of you?

When you already belong to him, while I...

Don't have you, don't own you, when i most need you...

Can i make love with you?

But in having this love consummated...

We destroy ties, trusts and friendships too...

Can i touch you? Hold you? Embrace you?

Warm up my being...

Give meaning to my existence...

Ignite the fire in my soul...

Am i allowed to miss you?

I feel helpless, i feel desperate...

I'll get crazy of this longing for you...

Can i at least look at you?

Gaze at that face, you don't have to look back...

Just for a moment, be by my sight...

Can i talk to you? Speak to you?

Let my whispers reach your ears...

Let my words drown out your fears...

Can i love you? Love you. Love you!

Let my lips touch those cheeks...

Let these eyes gaze that beauty...

Let my hands soothe your pains...

Let this feeling soar, fly free...
