The Eternal Wait of Radha

I stand at the edge of village

I know it is the same time

When you used to come

To meet me.

There is no one around.

Only me

And my wait for you.

I have forgotten about the time

Since I have been waiting

But I always stand at this time here

To continue my vigil.

I don’t want you to leave in dismay

Even if my wait never ends

I believe you have always missed me

As I have been missing you.

I am wearing the same dress

Some ornaments

And the smile

Which you always liked.

The echo of your flute

Travels through the air

But nobody can hear it

Except me.

I know my wait is eternal

But then I am told

So are you

I am the same

Standing at the same place

Waiting for you.
