I wonder
how is it possible that for each and every problem
you have a solution
and for each and every request of mine
you have an excuse

how come this whole world looks wonderful
when you are around
and the very same world feels difficult to digest
in your absence

just like someone is demon-possessed
I am you-possessed

I shall have never accorded approval
for this fragile design of my heart
had you stood before me
then

so soft am I
I learn
only once you leave me

I try to search you all around
but in vain and grief struck,
suddenly you appear before me
wiping off my tears coursing down my cheeks

how better I feel now
only I know.
