The Dreamer

There is something about him

The courage he shows by guarding his dream

He is unaffected by life's harsh honest gazes

He almost looks funny when he is unfazed. 

He has a tune in his head and a bounce in his each step

I hate to admit, I envy him sometimes, yep.

Only because he acts like he has the key to happiness

And yet won’t share it with enough selflessness.

I wonder can he not see how everyone’s pointing

How his whimsies are taking a lot more than giving

Maybe that’s why people ridicule and sneer at him

Nonetheless I see there is a charm in his eyes abrim.

Then again he gets an idea as silly as the one before

There he goes, those eyes twinkle with a grin once more.

He has me worriedly hoping that maybe this time he will give up.

While he, lost in the music, just doesn’t seem to get worked up

His fearless optimism forces me to question

Everything I used to believe with much conviction

Is it really possible to get what we want from our lives?

Is it really worth being seen as a fool and taking all those jibes?

He secretly smiles to himself when I ask this

The answers are yes is his sincere promise

He believed his dreams gave him much liberation

And in return took petty inhibition

I can only describe him as a dreamer

But that’s what I’ve really adored about him since ever.

Unsaid

We look into each other’s eyes

Knowing there is something to say

But then our gaze drifts away

Because we can’t make ourselves say

It’s not that he won’t understand what I have to tell

It’s just that what’s in my mind is for me to figure yet

He knows there's too much that is going unsaid between us

Not today,but someday he'll figure it from all the clues, I bet.

We talk about everything, tip toeing around the real thing

Neither of us knows exactly what it is, frankly it has us both confused a bit

Searching for answers only throws us more questions

We can’t say what we need to say, mostly because there is no name to it.

Once said, I fear it will lose its meaning and get lost in being labelled

So we continue to see through each other’s hearts;ahh this is how everyday goes.

We read between our words, even the unspoken ones

Eagerly waiting for the other to blurt and then feeling relieved when nobody does.

I guess we have started to love this.

The unsaid vibe between us binds us now

It sets the magic in the air around us

And we wrap it around and feel its warmth

The mystery in his silence and the comfort of his company

I only want it all to remain this way

I don't love him and yet i'm unnaturally drawn to him

Oh there I go,that’s exactly what I wanted to say.

He just brings peace to me, his unspoken feelings whisper a million things

We know this is cannot be the end, but neither will anything ever change

We kept to ourselves to protect ourselves

We let the most important be unsaid,no matter how strange.
