i just couldn't.

i wanted to tell the whole world,

about my love for you.

but i just couldn't.

i wanted to dance my love,

sing it or write a poem,

but i just couldn't.

i dreamed a fantastic dream,

of me in your arms,

and a long warm kiss.

i wanted the cat to answer me back,

when i held her and called your name,

but she just couldn't.

i tried to tell my sister,

about my love for you,

so that her big eyes could look at me,

the way i want you to,

but she was asleep,

so i just couldn't.

my folks say I'm too young to be falling in love,

i tried to change my heart,

to make my mind stop thinking about you so much.

BUT I JUST COULDN'T.

i wrote your name on all the paper of my diary.

i took a letter i wrote you to the mailbox.

BUT, I JUST COULDN'T.

this is a poem by HASNA MUHAMMAD. just wanted to share it with you. :)
