may be this longing

Love, I waited for you
from amidst falling leaves
of a southern autumn
to the cold dry windy
bursts of winter winds
I waited for you through
the pre-vernal leaves
and amidst the blossoms
of the colorful spring
through harsh summers
and then cried in the
wet, rainy monsoons
and yet all I had was
this wait of yours.

May be this longing
was destined for me
across seasons, months
through countless years
that I have been away
from your loveliness
May be this longing
was destined for me
to make the meeting
between the two souls
sweater when it happens
and for me to sustain life
after you are gone once again.
