Wish You Were Mine

                           Wish You Were Mine

Verse 1

I sit alone and I think of you;

Dreaming of a day where I can be with you;

I stop my tears not with hands;

But with the hope your simple smile gives, which is hard to understand;

Verse 2

We cannot be together right now;

Cuz you belong to someone else for now;

This taste of pain is so new to me;

I'd be empty without the random meetings between you and me;

Chorus

You can't be mine;

Wish you were mine;

I'll make you mine;

And we'll define;

The dreams of mine;

Together we'll forever shine.

Verse 3

These feelings are for sure to stay;

Cuz never has my heart felt this way;

For a girl I know so little about;

But life now seems so weird without;

Verse 4

You're perfect in every way for me;

Your smiling face is all what I want to see;

Even at the cost of my misery;

Sometimes I doubt weather we could ever be;

Chorus

You can't be mine;

Wish you were mine;

I'll make you mine;

And we'll define;

The dreams of mine;

Together we'll forever shine.

Verse 5

I don't even exist for you;

Really wish I could say the same for you;

Your feelings for me even if there are any;

Why is it such a mystery;

Verse 6

Really wish I could know what you think of me;

But you and I can never be;

You belong to someone else and not me;

Wish I were a bad guy but instead I'am me.

Stop...and Feel...

When I was in school, I would really enjoy writing stories. All my friends would long for me to read it out loud to them. I think what they liked in my stories, was my aggressive style of story telling. And no matter how serious the topic would be, I would make sure it had its genuine, funny moments. Story telling/story writing, a skill so valuable, I never counted it to be anything special then. And now  creative writing is something I joyfully indulge in everyday. School, is a very underrated place for students, but it's suppose to be like that for the proposed experience that will give you a delayed understanding. 

I never thought myself to be a writer. I can still distinctly remember one day when I reached home from school, had my lunch and sat down pondering about the greatness the poet (whose poetry I had read in class) had been successful in commanding from his readers. I knew that I could try to achieve that. I was barely thirteen years old then. So i went towards my school bag, removed my pencil and an almost complete note book. With these cool tools, I sat down to start my carer in poetry. I can still re-live the same beautiful feeling I had when I was just about to start writing. Very few people are lucky to be able to store and preserve "feelings" like as if they are "memories". I wrote a verse containing four lines. I was completely displeased with my work as I had failed to successfully rhyme. Even though now I realise that poetry is something purely beautiful.... rhyming is not an important factor for it to be beautiful. 

What I get from this ancient, almost forgotten and yet fresh, memory of mine is that since a very young age I have been completely open to trying out new things and applying my little knowledge to its fullest. Since a very young age, I make sure I take time out to just STOP and FEEL...what ever my journey has to offer me. 

I never hesitated to just sit down and gaze at the stars at night for hours at stretch. I don't recall what I had learnt from them at that time; but do remember that I realised that there is more to our lives than just going to school and returning home to be burdened with an almost inhuman load of homework. Hahah, I have never been a fan of homework. 

From a very young age we are being taught to dream of a life that to some extent is very harmful to our health, makes us all competitive which in the end, leads us all to be selfish as humans. We are being rushed into a life that is monotonous in nature and un-rewarding. In every section of society there is a minority; and this minority does not believe anything it's told/taught, unless they truly believe it or have experience enough to take the risk to try something new. 

I am not sure if I come under the wing of the minority section or not; but am sure that I am 'Awake' in a world, where even 'Dreamres' can see no way ahead....
