One last time ...


My heart skipped a beat seeing your face
It makes me blush from inside
It makes the butterflies in my tummy to do somersaults
It fulfills me with peace
It makes up for my longing
Gives me more reasons to smile.

But the wound on your forehead
It aches my heart
The pain you went through makes me miserable
To know that you were completely alone
When you looked out for a familiar face
It makes me sad.



Now as I stand near to you with bated breath
I wish you could look at me
Tell me that, everything is going to be alright
That it’s just a bad dream with a happy forever
If only, 
If only, you could just come out of that coffin and hug me.

One last time ….
