Dearest
Oh you! Dearest to my heart!
I don't know your identity, neither your residence,
I neither know why I love you,
Yet my love for you is immense.
You were always by my side, from my birth,
You helped me out, when I was in doom.
It was your affection that gave me mirth
In my heart you've occupied all the room.
You were the light that showed me my path -
Sometimes, in fancy, I mistook you for the dark.
But soon I realized that you were true;
In every moment of my life, you left your mark.
But now is the time that I stand on my feet,
At the pains yet to come, I'd no longer cry;
Leave me now, for now the path is mine,
I will follow truth, which I'll never defy.
Yet you stay by me, in my happiness and grief -
For I'll confess to you when I'm in sorrow,
I'm still not so matured, I need you help,
I'm like a sleeping rabbit that just came out of its burrow.
Stay forever with me, this I plead,
For in every moment of my life, I want to see your smile.
Please don't go away, you unknown entity -
Stand by me, I need your holy light.
