I Am Not Alone Poem by Thomas Viruvelil

I am not alone
I can feel you walking close
I can hear you talking to me
I hear your giggles
I see your sparkling eyes
I can even smell you so close.

I am not alone
even in darkness you are close, so close
I can touch you so close.
When I sleep,
I can feel you close, so close
you always sit close, very close
I keep on telling you so much
and you laugh and tell me so much

You reply to me for even my thoughts.
You give your ideas for my worries.
You tell me go straight I am with you
This way, not that way
You are always with me
every moment.

But when I open my eyes wide
and look around
I can feel you close, so close
But my eyes cannot see you
any where.
