I Wish You Could See Me

I Wish you could see Me
Back Then,
Filled With Silence 
Unheard  and Unafraid. 

Voices then knew no Shouting
Feelings were not something to be escaped.

In such world of closeness 
I was in;
A alternate universe it seems,
I wish you could see
the first steps I had taken,
hitting to the
fallbacks I didn’t Believe.

Those tears which were not 
carried forever in the heart,
those lonely smiles for
timeless situations I was a part.

I wish you Could See Meback then ,
Amidst those wilderness of dawn.
Filled with Present 
and Working Hard.
I wish you could Know me 
Better than I am ;
straight through my Eyes
of the enduring past.

I wish you could see Me
walking by
Those empty streets,
escaping those busy roads.
Coz that’s where I come from
and persona I truly belong.

I wish you could meet Me
from the time back then.
