A Thousand Years
Hearts beat fast
My fingers danced along the keys on the piano, intertwining mine with her tiny ones as I taught her how to play this tune.
Colours and promises
The twinkle in my eyes mirrored his, as I sung to him.
How to be brave
Her soft voice melodiously echoed in the room, a smile taking over me involuntarily.
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
The rhythmic tune of the piano soothed him and softened his features; a slight yawn escaping his serene face.
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow
I looked over at Vividha and smiled.
Gazing at Atharva made my heart skip a beat.
One step closer
I kissed Avni's hair.
I pinched Vivaan's soft cheeks.
I have died everyday, waiting for you
I smiled at Vividha as I carried Avni in my arms, thanking her for this perfect family she blessed me with.
I picked Vivaan up and placed him over my shoulder, walking towards Atharva.
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
She made me happier than I ever thought I could be.
He made me happier than I ever thought I could be.
I'll love you for a thousand more
She put Vivaan in his crib, and I put Avni down too. Glancing at the two little angels who completed us, I hugged Vividha from the side, placing a kiss on her forehead.
I pulled myself closer to Atharva and smiled proudly. A small peck on his lips and a mere I Love You was uttered; but it said all that which needed to be put into words.

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
