How We Shined

You had set your eyes on mine

loving those dark pools of brown,

as it, lit up with love and awe, though

How did, those ever boring dull eyes,

give you hope for a lifetime, my love.

I believed that I was ugly, insignificant

You believed that you were noxious, despicable

But hidden underneath all those futile layers,

is a soul where I found my first love

Every single second of which I adore.

Those bittersweet memories, come alive every night

As I gaze up at the dimly lit sky

Your crazy yet humble obsessions over the stars

make me choke, goosebumps all over me

with a tint of blush, on my olive heart face.

No-one knows of what we had, Dear

We were the only ones, entangled in our tiny tale.

I had admirers, you in love,

but the stars swirled magic

only when I wore a red dress

on a warm December day.

Love never had any barriers, we had.

For the first time in morality, I felt beautiful

You asked to marvel the night sky, Her glory.

Oh, darling, that was the onset of our infatuation.

I was a hopeless case, you were a disorder

But a tryst arose that moonlight.

We captivated each other with written words,

Too young to decipher the endless void

How foolish was I to have swept it all, yet,

Everyone before Me, Everyone before You.

Soon, I became a silhouette in your dreams.

We feebly terminated unborne links, still

the strings hum the passionate confessions

secretive rendezvous and parallel similitude.

My genie, sleeping in the lamp of my heart,

Will you grant me one last wish?

Relive the night, when we shined bright,

when the story was done being Untold

As we stared at the stars from other sides.

This time, hold me to your chest, my love,

softly clasp my hands and never let go.

We will see the stars together tonight

Underneath the sky, you see every night

The sky I wanted to see once upon a time,

Two genies, countless stars

and frozen time.
