Just Once..

Updated: Jul 18, 2025

By Vanshi Sheth


Just once, I want to tell him how I feel

Just once, I want to show him what he means to

me

Just once, I want to be his legacy

Just once, I want to tell him that he is the only one

I see

Just once, I want to tell him this, you are the

Romeo to my Juliet ; the Tristan to my Isolde ; the

Majnu to my Laila and the Antony to my

Cleopatra..

Forever, I want to feel that I am his;

But then I think…

Just once, what if I focused on myself

Just once, what if I loved myself like I loved him

Just once, what if I lived not for him but me

Just once, what if I became Margaret not Juliet ;

Amelia Earheart not Isolde ; Indira not Laila and

Marie not Cleopatra

Not once, I want to lose myself

But forever, I want to love myself
