True Love

When you love someone

And you love them with your heart,

It never disappears

When you’re apart.

And when you love someone

And you’ve done all you can do,

You set them free,

And if that love was true…

When you love someone

It will come back to you.

Two of Me

I never thought I’d find myself

The day that I found you.

Plans for only

One of me

Are future plans for

Two.

Souls mates in this universe

That make the world surreal.

For when I’d given up on dreams

You showed me love is real.

And now that all my love for you

Will never cease to grow,

Please take me in your loving arms

And never let me go.

Can You Guess Whats This???

The girl's a total stranger.
She's a dream come true - is she for real or just a story?
Look at this mad one, she hasn't changed a bit!
She's still the same crazy girl.

The boy's a total stranger.
He's a dream come true - is he for real or just a story?
Look at this mad one, he hasn't changed a bit!
He's still the same crazy boy.

We were so close, and yet so far away.
Who knows what sort of compulsion we were under?
Those were strange times,
when you were so close to me.
Where are you lost?
I'm right here, if only you would look.

Even in a crowd, I was lonely.
Your memory was forever with me.
If someone stops me now,
my heart will brim over.
My steps are unsteady;
only you can help me in this.

You had no idea
what dreams you revealed to me!
I am neither awake nor asleep;
something happens (in my heart).

The Bus Stop

Waiting at the bus stop
I shivered from the cold.
When you walked up
It seemed as if
You were outlined all in gold.
You asked me if my shivering
Was out of cold or fear,
I said the cold, I’m not afraid
For you to stand so near.

Then you removed your jacket
And handed it to me,
I shyly refused your jacket,
Embarrassed so, you see.
You put the jacket on my shoulders
And back a step you took.
“I’m Priya,” I said extending my hand.
“I’m ******,” you said.. We shook.

Day after day we stood,
Waiting for the bus,
Not a single word spoken
By either one of us
Until one day I turned to you
And bravely started to say,
“I have a crush on you, ******,
And also, by the way….”

As I started to tell you what it was
That was burning on my mind,
You told me that you liked me, too,
But the words were hard to find.
I smiled a smile that seemed to stretch
To both of my two ears.
The smiling and the happiness
Erasing all my fears.

And now, my friend, you’re dying
And there’s nothing I can do,
But sit with you and hold your hand
And be forever true.
Last night while you were sleeping,
You soul just slipped away,
The words that filled my heart
Were impossible to say.
As I was cleaning out the drawer
That stood beside you empty bed,
I found a letter addressed to me
And heard your voice speak as I read.

“My darling, I’m sorry 
I’ll have to leave so soon,
You know how much I love you
And I know you love me, too.
I hope you won’t forget me
But please do try to move on,
I hope you won’t cry too much
When I’m dead and gone.”


Two silent tears slid down my face
And moistened both my cheeks,
I won’t get over the loss of you
Not for days, and not for weeks.
I continued reading the letter
That I held in both my hands,
My fingers numb as if they had
Been wrapped in rubber bands.

Now I’m standing at the bus stop
Where two years ago we met,
And as I stand here in cold
I feel my cheeks start to get wet.
I don’t think I will get over you,
Never, not in any way,
Our anniversary would have been
Two years ago today.

And on this lonely bus ride,
I sit alone without you near.
I hear a voice that may just be
The voice I’ve longed to hear.
The voice is from an angel
And his words are sweet and strong.
He tells me,
“Life’s a treasure.
Learn to love again. Move on.”

And through the words he whispers
I finally start to see,
That although I’ll always love you….
It’s time to set you free.

You Are The One

I asked you if I was PRETTY, you said NO.
I asked you is I was FAT, you said YES OF COURSE.
I asked you if you WANTED to be with me forever, you said NO.
I asked you if you would CRY if I walked away, you said NO.
I had heard to much, and need to leave and,
As I walked away…..
You grabbed my arm and told me to stay.
You said…..
You are not PRETTY, you are BEAUTIFUL.
The only thing FAT, or BIG, about you is your HEART.
I don’t WANT to be with you forever, I NEED to be with you forever.
And, baby, I won’t CRY if you walked away…..
I would DIE…..

Ask Me

Ask me
I know you want to
Ask me
I’m waiting for you

Ask me
I’d never make you guess
Ask me
Baby, I might say yes.


Late-Night Talks

His name came up
On the caller ID
At exactly 
Eleven forty-three.

I answered it
In my cheery fashion
For our late-night talks
Were always my passion

But his voice told me
That something was wrong
Like a horror movie’s
Foreshadowing song.

As he took a deep breath
And told me the phrase
“we need to talk”
I was put in a daze.

“We have a connection
And get along fine
There’s nothing you’ve done
The problem is mine.”

“You understand, don’t you?
Are you still there?”  
I tried to answer
As I felt my heart tear.

“We’re gonna stay friends,
We’ll talk everyday.
Priya, do you have
Anything to say?”

A thousand thoughts were
Ready to spill
But my mouth wouldn’t talk
As my eyes began to fill.

Thoughts raced through my head
Old memories played
The thought of being alone
Made me feel so afraid.

“I’m not expecting you
To understand.
You’re an child,
Life holds different demands.”

“Still one day
When your life is exams
College applications
And activities,”

“You’ll realize why
I made this choice.
Talk to me, Priya,
Do you have a voice?”

I would have if I hadn’t 
Hung up so quick
To comfort myself,
I was feeling quite sick.

So then this is it,
This is the end.
What more can I say then?
I’ll miss you my friend.
