Within The Ambit Of My Heart's Plea

In conversation was I, on the phone, with you
Hours passed by, but something, as always remained due.
Miles apart, but touch wood, not torn apart
Of my life, you're still everything, not just a part.

You whispered something, and a broad smile, was on my face
To witness this rarity, even time, slowed its pace.
Little words of yours hon, give me so much glee
Let this remain forever, is my only, and only plea.

Now in my room, I sit, thinking of you
At the mirror ahead I glance, and I see, something very new.
The same eyes, hadn't I seen?, since two decades?
But why today, do they say?, I may soon need bridesmaids?

Some chords, I hear, of a very familiar sort
Played from a piano, as though, straight from my heart.
Few sweet lines, the other day, you sang to me
The same music, is what lingers on, whenever it be.

Waiting eagerly am I, for that one fine day
When "Happy Wedded Life", to us, people would say.
A bit more place, in your heart, I would then claim
And to mine, would be added, a part of your name.

Would have by then, gifted my life, to its only possible heir
Not asking for myself, of it, even a little bit of share.
Im only and only yours, for now, then, and forever
Just one appeal my dear, don't shatter the dream, ever.



p.s.1- People say that the period between engagement and wedding is a very nice period. But I have no idea dude! All I know is that I have a wedding to attend this week :-). My friend, adjacent register number at college, Bindu is gettin married day after. All the secrets and gossips, fights and parties,smiles and tears,..well, she is for sure the girl with whom I spent maximum time during classes, labs, clinicals and even more than half of internship. Can't belive she is already getting married!! With a PG seat in hand, madam is all set to get settled in life. Happy married life dear. Wish you all the happiness in the world. May all your dreams come true. :)

p.s.2- This work is a fiction. I don't intend to get married in the next couple of years atleast :)
