“When I saw her!
It was mid day, it was a sunny noon,
When she passed through,
I felt the shimmer of the moon,
And for a moment I believed everything about her was true,
Her eyes that radiated with the charm of the day,
Her wavy arms that moved like the waves of calm and graceful sea,
Her beautiful face that you would notice anyway,
And when she passed by, you hoped this is what you would always and forever see,
Her every step that led her somewhere,
Made you forget your errands and just be with her,
Wherever she went, just anywhere,
And you imagined a life with her, only with her,
And when she spoke to someone else,
You cursed the skies for this prejudice,
For in that moment you wanted to be this someone, and not anyone else,
And you wanted to rewrite the fate’s treatise,
So that whenever she talked, she only talked to you,
Whenever she passed by someone in the street,
She always passed staring at you,
And wherever she went, it was just you she intended to meet,
But right now, she just passed by and I saw her walk away,
Until she had reached far, and become a distant star,
And now I only keep gazing at the sky every night and day,
And I deal with the never ending inner war,
Where she still peeps through all my memories,
Where she still makes me believe what I saw was true,
And I feel like these helpless daisies,
Who can do nothing, but just wait for the winter to pass and hope the sky will once again turn blue,
So I am a flower that is rooted in its place and its faith,
And I only grow in the field of her beauty,
That is what my heart feels and that is what my mind always sayeth,
For sometimes to love and to believe is the noblest duty!
And I love her still although she is a star so distant,
Rescued by my memories that form the only bridge,
Between what I felt then , what I so long to feel now, ah it is a feeling so eminent,
But I have to live with the star and its distance and volunteer myself for this daily emotional sacrilege!
But then, living loving someone is a beautiful feeling,
Maybe that is why daisies bloom every year,
To witness the kiss of the summer, that magical thing,
And for its sake bearing the pain of winter, seems nothing, every year, and every next year!”
