I anticipated a longer night
Longer than twilight
I will sit at my golden seat
Counting the stars till 12 am
I will surely take refuge in the moon
Till 6 am
I shall dream no dream

Now! it's 1am
My bed scanty as a grave
I will surely take solace cos she is a thousand mile away...

My eyes gaze straight to the clock once again
It ticks slowly as never been
It's 1:15 already

Behold! She made her way to my lifeless bed
Planted a kiss to my thirsty lips
And sent me to the gate of life
She turned darkness to light

Her hands serenely fell wounding my neck
My hands locked horns against her fast rising chest
I slowly and secretly walked past her thighs
She screamed silently to my deaf ears
But they could hear her heart beat faster than a talking drum...
Oh! This is where I wanted to be on a val night

My eyes saw reality at 6 am
My pillow was my companion
My bed was scanty as it were
And dreams weren't true this time...
