I’ll  wait for you like the horizon waits for the sun to set,
I’ll wait for you until my breath would rest.

Running on the sand, I slipped on the ground,
A few splashes of water got me drowned.

Memories hovered over like never before,
I felt your touch in every wave that touched my feet on the shore.

Everything around me glittered, as the sun sparkled the sand,
It was only your name, that was ever written on it by my hand.

I realized it soon as the cool breeze soothed my heart’s barren land,
That I’m incomplete without you, like a sea without the sand.

I felt it now, the way you promised me one day it would,
That love makes everything beautiful, in the best way it could!
