We thought the world was ours.
A canvas adorned with the vibrant colours of love,
Where happiness glistened like dew in the morning.
Like feathers in the wind, our dreams were carried
By the blue heavens with white clouds sailing across.
Shyly, butterflies danced in the warmth of our love
In the peace of my heart’s garden, you blossomed like a rare flower
Your love was woven in every glance.
And my soul was filled with that radiance
Like the west wind’s echoes, the years passed by.
Time flies so fast, dear! We have come a long distance.
That leaves me with a trembling thought
That one day my hands won’t be stretching anymore
To reach for you! Like everything that has to end,
A day will surely come
When my comforting presence fades into the background of memory
And becomes a faint spark
But before that time comes, I want to create a cosmos for you
In which you are the epitome of beauty!
Even more exquisite than the stars.
Dear! Look at the evenings
When the shore longs for the setting sun,
With its light fading softly into the depths,
It leaves not emptiness but opulence.
I will give you everything I am
To make you the most beautiful thing in that universe,
Just as the setting sun completes its last verse with the shore.
