Just Once
 
A life that is so mortal
A few days that I number
Just once if I could see you
Before the deepest slumber

Your beauty that is skin deep
The beauty that I adore
Your smiling fans waving at you
Wanting something more

But all I want is a few moments
A smile and a waving heart
... So sad this was just a dream
Please don't tear my dreams apart



The Story Behind

This poem is a request made by a person who knows his love will always remain unrequited. The reason behind that is that he's in love with a celebrity. He knows he is never going to get the girl. He knows she is too big and too far away from him to accept or acknowledge his love for her. But still the poet who is a desperate fan of hers makes this small request to the love of his life as he just wants to see her once.

He just wants to get to know the beautiful person inside her. To know that beauty is skin deep. He wants to spend a few romantic moments with her. He does not expect love but at least expects some warmth and acceptance from her.

Unfortunately, this dream of his remains his unrequited dream and never gets fulfilled.
