I Wish Poem by NAYYAR SHABBIR AHMAD

People say I was with you
I wish it were true
But - unfortunately
It isn't

I think of you
Dream of you
All the time
Even though I know
You never give me a thought
I walk the streets endlessly
Fruitlessly
in your footsteps
Knowing only too well
Our paths will never cross
Am I being unreasonable?
Undoubtly!

Some other incredibly lucky person
Has been gifted
With your presence

But does she know of your true worth?
Definitely not

Does she remotely appreciate you
Somehow, I doubt that too
Why...?
Simply because she doesn't see you with my eyes
