I’m longing for You (Vignesh K)

I long for you,

I long only for you,

But you don’t care for me.

 

I magnetize every eye

Except yours,

People’s palms hold me,

Many lips wet my cheek,

Their joyous bustle reaches my ears.

I could feel their happiness,

But, I cannot enjoy anything

Anything without you.

 

I want you,

I’m crying for you,

But, you do not know that.

 

You do not know me,

I’m crying for you,

I’m opening my hands for you,

I could hear your voice somewhere.

But, I cannot see anything,

I started to cry loudly

To reach your ears;

But ends up in failure.

I want to shed tears for you,

But my eyes are too fresh to produce it.

My intention is to run towards you,

But my feet are too delicate to reach you.

I failed in all my attempts.

 

I love you,

I love only you,

I love you truly.

 

My fingers are longing to pat you,

My lips are waiting to kiss you,

My hands are waiting to hug you,

My chin is waiting to lie on your shoulder,

If you really love me

Come and carry me.

 

Hold me in your arms,

I will wait for you

Forever…
