I FELL IN LOVE

Unbelievable, but true, that one day

I fell in love, with a shadow on a window

It was just a dark outline, of a baby standing

On a window sill, of a house on the tower

The tower, which was opposite to mine

Maybe the mother, was playing with baby

Made her stand, against the closed window

So blissful it was to watch, the play

The baby’s hand and body movements

Though, it was like a silent movie, no sound

Still filled my lonely heart, with much warmth

Then it became my habit, to watch daily

Same time, same place, in the same way,

Suddenly one day the window remained dark

Hours I waited in vain, but there was nothing

My heart broke, crushed into a million pieces

Maybe the family moved away from there

This is the way, my love story ended in pain

A deep love with a shadow, unknown, unseen,
