Thoughts I Never Expressed – Khushbu Nanavati

The doorbell rang,
My intuition said it was you,
Only I know how long I awaited to see you.

I took a deep breath,
And thought about all that I wanted to say you,
I wanted you to know how much I missed you.

A lot many things happened after you left,
I cried like the falling rain,
And my mom grounded me for being insane.

Even that was not enough,
My best friend shifted to Rome,
Without both of you I was so alone.

And there is more,
I wanted to read out the poem I wrote for you,
I wanted you to hear the song I dedicated to you.

But all over that,
I wanted to tell you ‘I still love you’,
And obviously, I first wanted to see you.

Finally, I opened the door,
And there you were, my everything,
I hugged you and kissed you and didn’t wish to say anything.
