ECHOES OF THE HEART

Sometimes we close our eyes
And just listen to the silent echoes of our hearts…
When we fall in love and there are times…
When we are lost completely in love
More often than not, we wonder why
There is love that grows, and then grows cold
We question ourselves. Where love has gone wrong?
But in the end we find ourselves where we stood,
For we cannot question the love
It has its merits and own reasons
Love will always be as it has always been…
Silent, mysterious and intensely profound.

We believe that love is forever,
That love never dies, only to be disillusioned in the end
When we find ourselves with empty hands and our hearts longing
Mistakenly, we have looked at love as a need, a desire to be fulfilled.
But it’s only an ephemeral gift to us; we should not try to grasp
For we may never find the will to send it off, neither the strength to clasp
When it finally settles on to depart
So we should only cuddle its warmth and radiance while it last
And then open our arms freely when its time to send it off
But when we fall in love, we wish that feeling never ended
For it is everything we have, all that we were yearning for
We pray that love will stay on and grow in our hearts…
But if it doesn’t, we should never let our lives sink,
For life should not end where heartaches begin.

There is always a reason why we have to move on
When we have to bid farewell to the feelings we wanted to stay on
Let us not wave our hands with a heavy heart…
For love will set its wings free and settle at the place finally it belongs
That we may have lost but then again,
When we close our eyes and listen to the echoes of our hearts,
We will hear that feeling resounding silently forever within.
Then we perceive that it has never left us, its eternal
Because of love we always stay on…
It will always be within us echoing and reminding
That we should be gratified and contented,
That, even for once in our lives that feeling embarked in our hearts
And made us happy blissfully.
