If I Close My Eyes
If I
close my eyes,
If I close my eyes,
It is not the darkness that prevails —
I see the memory of your face.
If I am alone in my bed,
If I am alone in my bed,
It is not the loneliness that prevails —
I live with memories that fill my dreams.
If I am not hugged,
If I am not hugged,
It is not the emptiness that prevails —
I feel the memory of your soft touch.
If I am not kissed,
If I am not kissed,
It is not the dryness on my lips that prevails —
I taste the memory of your kisses lingering on my lips.
If I am not heard,
If I am not heard,
It is not the pain that prevails —
I hear the echo of your golden words.
If I cannot talk to you,
If I cannot talk to you,
It is not the silence that prevails —
I live with the memory of our conversations.
If I am not near you,
If I am not near you,
It is not the distance that prevails —
I live with the memory of our togetherness.
My mind and my heart
Have one sweetheart.
That sweetheart is you —
A work of art.
It is you who lives in my heart,
Never away from me,
Always closer and closer.
I am waiting to relive
Those memories of you and me.
Come back to me,
Come back to me.
Let's make new moments to remember,
To replay when we are apart.
M.L. Narendra Kumar
