If I Could Read Your Mind

If I Could Read Your Mind

A silent night with nothing but the moon beaming right upon us,

Holding you from behind and gazing the starry night sky, 

Wondering about how my life would have turned out, 

If I would have never crashed into you. 

Just like a Nightingale singing in the forest, 

I could hear you from my apartment, 

Only to my surprise, 

To see you looking at me. 

From awkward glances to casual hellos, 

Our fate was entwined with each other, 

To cross paths whenever any of us failed, 

To pick ourselves together and to fall in love. 

As today I hold you in my arms, 

Only to be lost in the seas of your eyes, 

Wishing if I could read your mind, 

Just to read your thoughts and relive the tales behind them together. 

Like a maniac stranded in sea for survival,

Trying hard to find a shore to live on, 

Searching from horizon to horizon, 

Just to reach a place where he could die.

If I could read your mind, love, 

Would you have made me a part of your life, 

And never leave me to be like a ghost, 

Cursed to live in world without everything it loves. 

With you caressing my hair,

Looking at me intently, 

Assuring me that everything I worry about is gone, 

Lost in a time before us. 

Brushing my lips with hers, 

Putting the last piece of the puzzle, 

Which was the picture of my life,

She was an artist and I was her canvas.
