I Too Can Love
Sometimes I forget
I seek reason under the cracks
of the dried grounds
that used to puddle
there I find confirmation
that I too can love
So we live in different times
you in today
I in the third world graces
yet frequently our paths kiss
and fate hints nothing
So I hold out from today
'Til the day you actually
See my love and smell
My sincerity
But in the mean time
I will sit here and gather
Jealousy, love, hate and anger
The day you touch me
With our eyes locked
And all the lights in the world
Turned on
You will see this all
And take me, with urgency
With need to fulfil
Every whim I'll ever make, quietly
Every risk taken
Will be worth the trouble
And nothing like waiting
Will be viable
Nothing this good should be
Waited upon
And like before
I will show you what I meant
When I told you
People don't get kissed
Like that to forget
I will show you what
You do to me in silence
And I will learn every thing
Memorise and try to remember
Every toss and turn
Wait until you give
So I could also learn to take
And as we lay in silence
I will assure you
That I too can also love you
In my own way and language
But I will definitely
Love you
