I Wished It Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

You neither came forward
Nor looked backward
To reassure me of sweet words
That was spoken in presence of lord

It was total surprise
But that did not cut much ice
I was well prepared
And almost dared

I wished it to happen
But not all of sudden
You were to come in open
Declare your resolve and assert it even

Oh, you did not look at me
As if I was bonded lover but let free
That I had all the options open
I could miss and go even

This attitude puzzled me even long before
You were unique and liked you therefore
You were to come and say nothing
Just to look at and assure for something

'Dear can you not speak word in my ears'? I whispered
I have waited to hear it for all these years, I murmured
You are still silent and remain unmoved
Your commitment to me is still not proved

I was shaken from half asleep stage
You just slipped near and managed
'My eyes are not closed to neglect' you finally said
You were heard saying 'It is my humble act'

It is not surprise but well thought over
Balance act and impregnable shield or cover
I was with you forever and would remain so
You venture into lovely world and surely go

If that was the love he intended
Why was I all the time offended?
I shamed and downed the eyes
What was I for all these years to ask why?
