Only Imagination
'I saw you in my dream last night." She said.
"What did you see?" He was enthusiastic.
"It was utterly hazy, nothing was definite.
But I was sure it was you, I was more than confident."
"Then?"
"You were telling me something softly.
I could not understand a word of it
I wanted to reply you back
I could not do that either."
"Then?"
I woke up with all my pain and agony…
With a realization that it was not you.
It was never you.
It was only my imagination."
She paused.
He smiled.
And then he said,
"I saw a light in you
I saw that in your face
I saw that in your presence.
And I woke up with all my love and joy
Only to feel that light in reality,
In days, in rays of the sun
Reflected on an ordinary leaf."
He did not finish his line, he did not try also.
And she did not ask him any more questions.
