I wish I could hug you incessantly,
Just so that we could mediate perfectly,
I wish I could caress your hands unexpectedly,
Like a plant would care for its bud lovingly,
I wish you could have been with me right now,
I would have experienced a brighter sheen somehow,
I wish I could just embrace you right now,
Only if this harsh distance allowed,
I wish I could unknowingly hold your hand,
Only if this cruel long distance would understand,
I wish I could fervently smother your ears,
Only if this mighty absence of yours would surpass,
I wish I could smile at your cute conversations,
But only if my day allowed like a sunshine,
Every fiber of my body makes me yearn for your lucid touch,
But the numbness around takes my right away even to your gentle nudge,
Long distance is harsh I learnt long back,
The only thing that keeps me connected to you is your constant buttery knack.
