The moment (Poem)

Moin Uddin

The moment I am with you
I feel alive to be around you
The moment when I am not with you
I feel empty, lost and my heart longs for you.

No matter what I do
No matter where I go
I just wish that you be with me
I just wish that your love surrounds me.

You are the reason for my happiness
You are the reason for my sadness
You are the reason for my existence
You are the reason for my emptiness

My day just starts thinking of you
My day just ends remembering
The moments that I lived with you
My day and night is filled
With the aroma of your memories
My morning and evening are filled
With the freshness of your stories.

Oh the sweetness of my soul
Oh the bitterness of my growl
I just can’t let you go
And be with someone that I ignore.

You are my sky
You are my earth
In between anything that grows
It’s all because of the seeds that we sowed.

You know how much I love you
You know how much I desire you
You know how much I want you
You know how much I think of you.

I am just in love with you
Sometimes you ask me why I do
I simply don’t have any answers
And you have no idea how much your love matters

The moment I am with you
I feel alive to be around you
The moment when I am not with you
I feel empty, lost and my heart longs for you.

Oh the sweetness of my soul
Oh the bitterness of my growl
I just can’t let you go
And be with someone that I ignore.
