After You

I blinked twice, to see if a girl who's fairer than the moon exists.
I looked up and thanked God I saw such a beautiful face.
I thought of you all the time, as though the universe revolved around you.
I never knew what was the meaning of giving up.
I cried myself to sleep and wished I was never born.
I felt for the very first time, what it means to be alone and to miss someone.
I longed to hold your hand and walk by your side.
I wished to caress your skin with my lips, and to run my fingers down your hair.
I tried so hard to make you love me too.
I cannot bear the thought of you saying "I do" to another man on your wedding day.

I loved you with all life's worth to love.

I prayed every night, that someday you'll give me your heart.
I dreamt dreams of holding you.
I knew what pain felt, what jealousy meant, what causes tears.
All after, I found you.
