On a Lazy Winter Afternoon ☕

O’ My friend!

Have you ever tasted

the flavour of love?

Not yet?

Ah! Then what have you truly lived?

Let yourself wander sometimes.

Since you’re here, let your life chime.

Let go of your inhibitions for a while,

like a body falling rapidly

before the parachute opens,

plunging into the void with an empty mind.

Postpone for a while

all your worries and worldly matters.

Just listen, just once,

to the call of your emotions.

Ah! This intoxication!

It simply doesn’t wear off.

No, no, my friend !

If you think too much, you’ll stray

from this path of bliss.

Let them say whatever they want.

Ah! This is the path

that leads to oneself.

No, no, don’t be afraid!

In most love stories,

betrayal is inevitable.

If you’re afraid, my dear,

how will you ever taste

this unique flavour?

Okay! Then what will you get?

You’ll get love! Abundant love!

Stars! So many of them.

Shimmering days filled with colorful mists,

sweet nights full of dreams.

Moments to gaze at yourself with love,

a constant desire to adorn yourself day and night.

An opportunity to wander in your dreamland.

Listen! If you find love,

then live your life to the fullest!

And if you don’t?

Then, my friend,

this longing itself is enough

for a lifetime.

-Medha
