I Know...

I can’t tell you want I want

Because

I know that you know it already.

I know that you can understand my silence

And hear my heartbeat.

I know that you can decipher my expressions

And rightly interpret the unsaid.

I am sure that you know what I want;

And that I try to sustain you.

You know everything.

I know that you are ignoring what I want

But, for how long, I want to ask

Yet, words fail me because I know….

I know that you can’t avoid it forever.

I know that you have to face it someday

And I hope that day dawns soon

Please understand that I can’t share you

I can’t even imagine that; it’s painful

You have never hurt me,

Then why now or ever; I want to ask

I want to ask you to think

Beyond the inhibitions and resistance

Can you think about me; about us?

I wish you don’t fail me; fail us

I want to ask you all this

But, I won’t!

Because

I know that you know it already.

I know that you can understand my silence

And hear my heartbeat.
