What Next Poem by Nitya Pillai

Could i let this love last a lifetime?
Should i let this love last a lifetime?
and forgive & forget of my past in this lifetime
or love him eternally in every lifetime?

Could he continue to be so heartless?
Should he continue to be so heartless?
How should i convince this ailing heart of mine
to love and lose and yet not be heartless?

Could he see the love twinkling in my eyes?
Should he see the love twinkling in my eyes?
how should i close my emotions to him and to me
not to show where he lies
in my heart, in my eyes...

Where eternal feelings stay
and our thoughts they tend to stray
when one only thinks of love
and love seems to find no way.
When these feelings come within
why can't they be put aside?
when emotions take us over
why can't they be asked to hide?
Sometimes when there seems no reason
to stop or hide, to ask or start
the only place you can find answers
is to look deep within your heart!
