Words Are The World

I remember, what I would say in those days. 

I would say,

"Yes, the words are less,

Yes, the words I hold for you in my heart of hearts,

Those words, are less.

How much should I tell you,

When my words don’t let me say?

How can I but not express to you,

When you are my night, my day?

But you know, like I said,

My words are less, my words are less.

I know, I should not complain,

I know the sunshine I saw,

For you it was disdain,

I know, our thoughts were never same.

I know, that six years were less,

Lesser to say to you,

What I kept hidden, just for a day,

When I would say, and you would listen.

That day never came, 

do you know why that is so?

Because, the words were less."

Then finally one day, 

I picked upon my dictionary,

and that day you know I slept,

with open eyes.

For that day, I learnt a few words,

three of them being, “I”, “Love”, and “You”.

Yes, you heard it right, “I”, “Love” and "You”.

That night I cried, yet the sentiments

made me believe, the power of those words,

and finally I had a powerful vocabulary,

I had learnt what I felt.

Words weren’t less,

Words were powerful!
