May I

May I? May I sit beside you? Talk to you for sleepless nights About all the things unsaid For the time lost in our silly fights. May I look in your eyes? Get lost in those cloudy haze To a place where no one resides With the absence of time, I gaze. May I come close to you? Wanting to feel your lips Without removing the contact with your eyes To feel your warm breath That ignites my soul and lights up my sky. May I keep my lips on your forehead? Kiss it as if it is the last thing, Beautiful for me in this world. For there is nothing more I desire But the two of us. May I penetrate your soul? To feel the pain. So that I can transfer to thyself if not remove it. For the doer was I. And to make you feel safe, So that you never raise a question About security and fate. May I take you in my arms? All night long And pamper you Caressing your hair back to your ears While touching your cheeks And playing with your moles. May I give you all the blessings I have For you deserve nothing but the best For the lady you are The soul that you preserve For the light you are Which I astonishingly observe. May I, for one more time Ask forgiveness For all the things that I’ve done For the things that I’ve not done For not being there when you needed me the most. For not being myself when I should have been. Sorry. May I be shameless? Shameless in asking “May I please, have your hands ?” A hand to kiss forever A hand to ask your father. A hand that holds me forever In the light and dark A hand that my hands long To set this beautiful journey And create our own world apart. May I?
