It’s so quiet here,
So pleasant,so sweet.
The air seems to be charged with
Emotions that are about to sweep.
Throats are choking,
Tears have started gathering
In the corners of our eyes
And we’re going to weep.
Why is it so?
Oh! Is it so difficult to explain.
But I’m sure
This bond of ours
Isn’t new at all and not so fragile
That we’ve to fear
Any sort of breaking.
It’s grown all these years,
Ever since we met, nourishing
Upon sublime feelings.
We’ve taken every care
To nurture and protect it
From all evil eyes
That might fall upon it.
We feared sometimes,I agree
But haven’t we braved the world at other times?
Sometimes we made a fool of each other,
At other times
We felt like angels and fairies.
Did we try to hide
From each others’ eyes?
It’s only to find ourselves torn and lonely.
If at times we also frowned
The very next moment
We felt miserable and mean.
Such and such were the sweet punishments
That we inflicted upon each other in vain.
Then we laughed at our follies
And then smiled
Stretching our lips from ear to ear
Turning all over pink
Till drops of tears
Rolled down the cheeks.
Yet not knowing
Whether we were really laughing
Or crying!
Perhaps we were doing both
At the same time.
Pity us! O God!
We’re such miserable beings.
These
And many more such games
Served only to strengthen our tie
Far from weakening it.
