Vijay Pandit Poet Couplet

Let Me Into Your Heart

When the birds stop singing
and the sitar stops playing,

When joy of life begins to betray
and morning fog won't go away,

When days of sunshine dissipate
and nights choose to stay awake,

When heart sounds alarm bells
and life feels like a living hell,

When love regrets happy moments 
and desires languish in atonement,

When we lose our happy face
and fill it up with awful rage,

When every deed's like a final act
as if we never had a solid pact,

Ask not why we waited so long
let's belong, our love's so strong,

Let go the burdens of the past
vow to usher a brand new start,

Grief will depart, let's do our part
I  beg you, let me into your heart.
