If only
Could I paint a melancholic corner of my heart
With the stars glimmering above.
If only
Could my woeful eyes replace with pearls
The tears shed alone every night.

If only
Could I beam over the lonely shadows of mine
With the glowing sun of every dawn.
If only
Could my melancholy eyes sparkle the full moonlight
Over the darkest nights of my life.

If only
Would you cease
To get reflected in my moon and pearls
To shine in my sun and stars.
Only then could I believe
How radiant my life would be
Even without the kindle of your smile,
Even without the kindle of your love,
For, reflection you are on the moon
That I can just stare for long
But never embrace here on earth.
