What It Takes To Be In Love? Poem by Asma Khan

What it takes to be in love?
a life without you
a sight without you
becomes an untrue truth!

What it takes to be in love?
my intentions to be wild as you
my imagination to be stuck on you
gives me an unseen sight of you!

What it takes to be in love?
I paid my faith and trust to you
I carried all my wishes to you
giving me a lifetime of un-given gifts!

What it takes to be in love?
just lonely nights and emptiness
just pains and endless cries
leaving me with unsaved gains!

What it takes to be in love?
a play played by two lovers
a dream dreamed by two dreamers.
ending up in unsaid curse!

What it takes to be in love?
a heaven with no one living
a carnival of hopes burning
showing desires of un-kept promises.
