Unfulfilled

Why does my everyday start with you,

Why does my everyday end with you,

Why does all the memories lay awake once again when I look at you,

Why does the heart ache again when I see you.

You’re that one whose mere presence affects me,

You’re that one whose mere thoughts fills me with passion,

You’re that one for whom I have set upon my dreams on fire,

Why does my every thought have you gripped up.

I don’t have that much to give you,

Nor do I really want you,

Still whenever I see you smile,

I want that moment to never end.

Your every smile moved me,

Your every cry left me angered,

Your everything left me broken,

Why do I still remember you.

In my every thought you live,

In my every imagination you are,

Maybe nothing happened between us,

Maybe we both are hungry for each other.

We had just attraction between us,

But we never acted upon it,

We had just friendship between us,

But we never made it further.

Maybe some desires are left awake,

Some passions unfulfilled,

Maybe some dreams are still alive,

Some love still beating in our hearts unfulfilled.
