Majnun

You will always find me there,

Tucked comfortably with the thoughts inside my head.

Engrossed with words I wrote and read,

And the beauty that with me you shared.

Some say that I have lost my mind,

Stuck in the past, the world left me behind.

But it took so long for me to find,

You, my favourite song, so I keep hitting rewind.

No good comes from living in the past you say,

But I remember it as clear as today,

Your gentle love, just took away...

Everything in me (I wasn't even aware) that ached.

You brought with you a love I thought had ceased to exist,

You didn't even try, and I never bothered to resist.

But every great story needs an earth-shattering twist,

I tried so hard to hold on, but like sand, you slipped from my fist.

Then I am jolted back to reality,

By whispers and screams that call me crazy,

They say you are gone, so how can I see...

 You right here, in front of me.

We talk, and laugh and argue like —

Before they stole you, you are once again mine.

So I stay in my thoughts, with you all the time...

And they seem to think I've lost my mind.
