I Love You

- Tamal Ghosal

I don’t know what to say,

I don’t know what to do,

My life comes to a standstill –

Just thinking about you.

When the morning cuckoo sings,

And spread its lazy wings,

When the world is waking up,

To do their routine things.

I keep laying on my bed,

With sheets covering my head,

Just your dreams keep me alive,

Without you, I am dead.

My desires are just a few,

Like leaves crave for morning dew,

Wish this one dream comes true at wake,

Because - I really love you.

So reluctant I rise and shine,

As the clock struck nine.

To get ready for another day,

And pretend that I am fine.
