For you

Only for you,
I climb onto the sun,
And make every ray just a bit more pretty,
As it shines for you,
Only for you.

Only for you,
I hold onto the clouds,
And squeeze out every drop of happiness inside,
And make them fall for you,
Only for you.

Only for you,
I argue with sounds,
And bargain for every one of them to be your melody,
As music flows for you,
Only for you.

Only for you,
I pray to your gods,
And wish to have faith in whatever you do,
As I believe for you,
Only for you.

Only for you,
I read about the past,
And fight for a future all of our own,
As time adjusts itself for you,
Only for you.

Only for you,
I look at the world,
And realise the darkness that it is saved from,
As light shines for you,
Only for you.

Only for you,
I live my life,
And take every breath to breathe in your scent,
As I exist for you,
Only for you.



My first post and completed poem (well if you could call it that) after I got my first job. Inspired in part by the really beautiful lyrics to Tere Liye by Gulzar (even though this isn't fit to lick the boots of that song, just seemed wrong if I didn't give credit)
