9:15 a.m.-23 December-99

There she is sitting

Four meters away

In this chilled library

Yet less cooler than her blood

She’s busy with her journal

Probably unaware of my presence

Sitting just on adjacent table

And if light-years away

I recall the moon I saw last night

It was supposed to be brighter than always

It must have been. I couldn’t make out

But it surely wasn’t half as good as the face I love

I know she will never even think of loving me

But o sun, o moon, o stars I plea

Take my share of smiles away

And give her sorrows to me, you may

Take away that last hope, that last bright ray

But you have to fulfil the wish that now I say

Smiling always, that girl should stay.
