A Very Long Day!

It’s said, “Ek aur Ek Gyarah.” in Hindi 

In English, it means, when one and one come together, their strength feels like eleven, not just two.

And when you find your other one, that’s how comforting and beautiful the day can feel.

A Very Long Day!

It’s been a very long day
It’s been a very tough day
You had one, and I had one
Now you are just sitting
At the end of the day

I come to you,
In your lap I lay,
And say

Would you brush your fingers through my hair?
Would you, one more time, show me the same care?
Would you see me through all my layers?
Would you rescue me from despair?

You say yes
And pull me to you
You say yes
And hide me in you
You say yes
And brush your fingers through my hair
You say yes
And look at me with care

We've been through the storms
We've been through the floods
We've been through the winds
We've been through the mud

We've held hands
And never let go
We've seen a werewolf
In each other
And chose to stay
Even if it kills

We've held hands
And never let go
We've seen a god
In each other
And chose to stay
And get healed

We've held our heads high
With pride in knowing each other
We've been through thick and thin
Together we cherish, together we suffer

We've had long days
We've had tough days

And at the end of the day
It all melts away

When I come lay in your lap
And you brush your fingers through my hair
And hug me like a big bear
And rescue us from despair

And love, love, love, forever...
