I long to love you with all my heart,
TO hold you close within my arms,
From your eyes flows a heady wine,
And it’s only that I wish to drink.
I want to look at you forever,
TO freeze this moment and never blink.
Though nearness is only a dream,
I long to brush against your soul.
Your gaze is so intoxicating, Mani.
Even my eyelashes wish to hold you.
