WISH - Only mine .....

—Soumyava Goswami

I know you’ll never truly be mine,

Yet my heart yearns only for you—and I don’t even know why.

There’s no deceit in this longing,

Only love… unreturned, still pending.

Yes, I know this hope will end in disappointment,

But does that mean I should stop loving you altogether?

Even if you’re not by my side,

All I truly wish is for your happiness, wherever you are.

May every darkness in your life find its way to me.

Let my life be fulfilled not by your presence,

But by shouldering your shadows.

Just spread your wings and fly, unburdened.

Lose yourself in your own joy,

Even if in doing so, you forget me among strangers.

Let this one-sided love remain solely mine.

Love demanding love in return—

Let my heart unlearn that flawed logic today.

Who says I’ve lost or grown desolate loving you?

You may not be beside me, but you dwell in my heart.

And honestly, who can keep anyone closer than that?
