Can I call you mine? I ask myself the time when our souls felt intertwined.
When I felt your warmth touching my soul through those eyes giving me signs.
Signs to ask, can I call you mine?
Was I the one who felt your love, and got butterflies Reminiscing your touch.
or You too felt fine, Remembering mine?
I often ask myself. Can I call you mine?
I remember your eyes carrying ocean full of words.
Compelling my heart asking questions Deep down submerged.
Looking into that ocean I muster courage, figuring out the reflection of words lost in unsaid adage.
To that adage lost in your eyes, carrying answers for unspoken truth and unsaid lies.
I often ask myself a question. A question, Can I call you mine?
The shimmering vibrance coming from your lips transcending the definition of peace and solace.
Drags my heart to a known yet unknown unexplored voyage.
Navigating these familiar but uncharted territories I delve into the question the most I care for.
In an unwavering efforts to find clues I closed my my eyes therefore.
Was I too late to quell your fears for the times you felt desolate
Or was I too naive to understand your pain Blaming it all on fate.
Such are the questions my heart often cares for
without questioning
my whys and wherefore.
Can I call you mine? , the question I often ask my heart therefore!
Your fingers entangled with mine puts me in a state beyond elation every time.
every time, I wish this moment stand still
but it never does, makes my heart shrill
Shrill out loud asking for more, more Love, more time and more memories it raves for
more you more us and more reveries it Craves for.
Captivated in those reveries my heart delve into forgotten past.
A past enveloped with dust of failures and sorrows.
Elevating high like clouds, foreboding, fears and morose.
Far off I see a silver lining on these ominous clouds.
Fighting hard, glowing bright taking over like a shroud.
I wonder who is there holding my back, making me move and helping me out.
Then I remembered the brave words you shouted out loud and remembered the days when you were there throughout.
And at this moment I defeated my demons conquered my fears and sailed out through.
I realized it wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for you.
And why would anyone help you succeed and shine unless they love you and thinks of you so pristine.
wondering this I smiled and I knew the answer to the question.
The question can I call you mine.?
Yes! Forever and ever.
