Dreaming Poem by Sureshni Jayawardana

I can’t eat, I can’t sleep
‘Cause all I see is your handsome face
And hear your soft voice.
I wish all this were a dream
Then I could have you beside me
And never let you leave.

Maybe I was crazy to think that
You loved me more than a pal;
But how can all the things I did
Be wrong but feel right at the same time?

I can’t hide the way I feel…
…I am not heartless.
Please understand that.
But I am in pain…a pain that
Keeps burning within me because
I’m alone…alone without you,
Without your guidance, and mostly
Without your love.

All I can do is keep wondering
…wondering when you’ll be
Back in my arms again,
To give me life once more.
