Don't You Know What?

Certainly, there was sunrise in your eyes. So suddenly my shadowed soul Was filled with all awakening light. I could not explain that extraordinary feeling That engulfed me, immersed me. You knew it. Didn't you? Else why did you smile then? But you were clever You said nothing. You knew, I was dying to tell you What I felt, how I felt. Yes, I was aching and twisting in pain To tell you how I felt. Yet, I could not. I feared I might offend you. But in the end, I dared to seek your permission To tell you how I felt. You were kind. You were kind to listen to me. My heart told you What it was dying for. Now my heart is impatient To hear back from you. What? Don't you know what? © Arun Maji
