I wish I could be the same for you... – Delhi Poetry Slam

I wish I could be the same for you...

By Anuj Jha

I want to stop my mind,

but I can't stop thinking.

I want to sleep like a baby,

but my eyes keep blinking.

There are thoughts of you,

 back and forth,

While my mind keeps going,

 south to north.

In all the directions,

 what I find is you.

Then I keep asking,

 “is it all true?”.

 

Well I'm not that stupid,

 as it may seem.

At the end I know,

 it is all a daydream.

 

But in my tedious life,

 here you are.

Having all the happiness,

 in a small jar.

I think sometimes,

 if you open it for a few.

But I doubt how you choose,

 among all the people in queue.

 

The fact I love the most is,

 how life is just a game for you.

You're the best one I've ever had,

 I wish I could be the same for you...
