I can see your smiling face
Deep in my mind’s eye
The lock of hair caressing your forehead
Gently waving to me to come by

You are truly miles away
Doing whatever it is you do
At this time of the hour and day
With zeal and sincerity to boot

I wonder if you take your mind away
For a minute or even a second
To fleetingly think of me once in a while
And savour the unique moment

I have this strange feeling
That you actually care and do
For I can hear my heartbeats
Echoing a melodious tune

When I get to meet you once again
You may not agree with what I say
But the rare glint in your eyes
May give you totally away
