With you
I wish to talk
Before I sleep
And as I wake up
While sleeping, it’s you
In dreams you pop-up.
A few words from you,
And my day begins.
A message during lunch time
Just brightens me up
Evenings we meet
Coffee shop we visit
A cup of coffee
And romance brews
Hours pass by
And manager freaks
But the waiters
Oh! They just love us.
Evenings you drop me
To my building
Security guards smirk
Residents’ gossip
Stray dogs & kittens
Lunge to love us
This is all for real
Not a movie, book or something surreal
BBM, Skype, Whatsapp, Viber
Brings us damn f**king closer
Then why they say
Love has lost its meaning today
When we are so so so near…
