I wanted to talk to you

 

We say goodbye to each other

By staring at each other

In complete silence.

No words spoken

No oscillations of pressure

Just our eyes conveying the message.

It wasn't any different than our other meetings

We never talked to each other

I couldn't gather the courage to initiate

And I don't know about her side.

But all the conversations we had

Were started by her.

There was a lot I wanted to say her

I wanted to say her thank you

For making me stay in library

Everyday till seven hence I aced.

For letting me know

How does it feels to fall in love.

For introducing me to

A new kind of sufiana ecstasy.

Few times that day

She couraged to sit beside me

Wanting me to initiate a conversation

And I failed yet again.

She is braver than me I feel.

I am kinda two faced

I want to see her again

I wish to encounter her again

And she does encounter me

I fail to talk to her again.

I wish I had said her a proper good bye

I wish I had sing her a Sufi song.

I wish I had asked her one of the questions.

I wish she reads this poem

And she get to know that it was not one sided

It just didn't come out.

She liked the poem of stories

And this story of mine and hers

Was the one that ended before starting.
