You (prose By Junaid Hafeez)

You Hey you! Yes, you! I am talking to you... You are my life This is not a lie: I love you! You've got all the hues; I should call you a rainbow! You are a part of me But sometimes, it seems to me: You are me! You are the sky, I am the sea You see in me your reflection We both exhibit perfection! When I see you, I feel fairies smiling at me Angels sprinkling dewdrops The sun, the moon and the stars, The larks, the waters and flowers-This whole Universe dedicated to me! You are a blessing for me -The greatest blessing! I witness God Since He bestows me with blessings! I wish to kiss your eyes, Kiss them thousands of times! But only when they are closed So that You may not see How much I love you! How can I tell, Since I am ill, I ain't able to spell, My will. I can't yell, But still, I say, I love you! I have not manifested my feelings,

And it is not always necessary to show What is happening inside. Sometimes,the horse runs without a rider! Expressions may be weak Through them you may not seek How much I love you. That's why I have not Made a knot out of a tie! My heart says, You are indispensable For my existence,For my survival! It is impossible to describe you-Your charm and my love for you, I have given enough bribe To my mind, But perhaps, it knows its limits. How much I love you? Perhaps, even I don't know. But I thinkIt is enough for the two of us! So, why don't You leave "You", I leave "I" And become Only "We" ? July 5 2005 P.S.
