Why Can't I Be With You Poem by Zaheer Uddin

Sometimes on days when the wind is soft
i hear footsteps behind me
lost in thoughts of you my love
i turn around to look for you
to feel your arms around me
oh my love it hurts so much
to find just emptiness
why can't i be with you my love
to share myself with you
why do i have to crave so much
for a glimpse of you my love

I Walk alone in the starry night
listening to the waves
hoping they would carry
my tears of loneliness
why can't i be with you my love
to fill you in my arms
why do i have to cry so much
in the sea of loneliness
why do i have to hurt so much
to pay the price of love
