I should have not let those tears to flow.
Stopped the very reason of its beginning.
For which if I had to undo the happenings,
I would be ready to combat the greatest of foes.

I saw those tears held up tight,
On those beautiful eyes.
Concealing from the world its untold miseries.
I saw a drop falling on the cheek immediately rubbed and hid with a smile full of fallacy.

I could feel you at that very point,
If I wished I could have poked.
To ask you the reason behind those frustrated water woes.
Put the dilemma took over
And thus, decided to keep quiet.
May be, my interruption would have worsen it more.
To let the water dry with the sunlight of time.
Even, tried to crack a joke.
But to no vail.

I understand it now.
May be I rationalized it all wrong.
I should have given you the friendly warmth,
With a tight hug all long.
The tears would have flowed,
But atleast would not have held tight to burden more those eyes.
I should have insisted you to puke all your thoughts,
to give the relief to your churning mind.
Should have slapped, shouted or argued
To atleast unleash your daunting thoughts.

I should have not let those tears to flow,
And,
Stopped them with a generous hug.
I wish.
I should have.
