You

Hey you!
Yes, you!
I am talking to you...

You are my life
This is not a lie:
I love you!
You've got all the hues;
I should call you a rainbow!

You are a part of me
But sometimes, it seems to me:
You are me!
You are the sky, I am the sea
You see in me your reflection
We both exhibit perfection!

When I see you,
I feel fairies smiling at me
Angels sprinkling dewdrops
The sun, the moon and the stars,
The larks, the waters and flowers--
This whole Universe dedicated to me!

You are a blessing for me --
The greatest blessing!
I witness God
Since He bestows me with blessings!

I wish to kiss your eyes,
Kiss them thousands of times!
But only when they are closed
So that You may not see
How much I love you!

How can I tell,
Since I am ill,
I ain't able to spell,
My will.
I can't yell,
But still,
I say, I love you!

I have not manifested my feelings,
And it is not always necessary to show
What is happening inside.
Sometimes,the horse runs without a rider!

Expressions may be weak
Through them you may not seek
How much I love you.
That's why I have not
Made a knot out of a tie!

My heart says,
You are indispensable
For my existence,For my survival!
It is impossible to describe you--
Your charm and my love for you,
I have given enough bribe
To my mind,
But perhaps, it knows its limits.

How much I love you?
Perhaps, even I don't know.
But I thinkIt is enough for the two of us!
So, why don't
You leave "You",
I leave "I"
And become
Only "We" ?
