You were the reason I lived
I knew what loneliness meant when you were away from me
You ignited my soul
You became the motive of my mere existence
You embellished my enlightenment
I felt the emptiness in me when the expectations died down
I could wait for you for infinite time
if you could promise me the life I yearned
It was the need for you that fueled my whole being
the void did not vanish unless you remained with me
even when I loved the depth of the black
I felt suffocated in the darkness
I never thought that being away from you was a torture
until I realized that I cannot hold you in my arms as i wished
I felt like the whole world wanted to take away my happiness for a second
Every second away from you became hours of pain
Insanity has caught my mind, that even a second, thinking of not being with you was killing me
I wished to cry out, but the shackles in my heart would never let me cry
I silenced the pain in the darkness comforting my soul
convincing that you can never be away from me
even if I knew the truth…..my blind heart
couldn’t live the pain…
this pain I could outlive, with a promise that you are with me
I slept holding on to my pillow, throwing away all the consumed thought about you being by my side
silently swimming through my tears into a deep sleep
With the longing that I would see you as I open my eyes
The tears were my strength to withstand the time away from you …
Silence was the power that let me survive all along…
