If I could write | Vishwa Gandhi

if i could write about you

i would write about

how incandescently bright your eyes shine

while looking at me

i would write about

how sweet your voice sounds

singing those songs you love

to me

i would write about

how dedicatedly you searched

for inane gifts you love

giving to me

i would write about the hours

i spent, looking throught everything i had

in my brain, and in the dictionary

for a word to describe this feeling.

i would write about thousands of hours

spent on thinking about the gifts to give

and then scambling at the last moment

to buy one, or to make.

i would write about the idiosyncrasies

i picked up from you

not realising, until

my friend told me.

but alas,

all the words forsake me

when i try to write about you.

so if i could,

i would write about you.
