My heart is a garden,
a secret flower grows
there,
away from prying
eyes so hardened.
Its seeds sprinkled from
somewhere.
Going down the memory
lane,
I remember your
glimpse,
how your smile brings rain,
leaving on my heart
your love’s imprints.
Every day I water this
flower,
with dreams of
tomorrow,
thinking about us
wherever we are,
only hope as my guide to
follow.
You’ll never know
about my love’s riddle,
Or my heart skipping a
beat with your glimpse,
Or turning my soul’s
sea with a ripple,
leaving on my heart
your love’s imprints.
