Bengali Poetry (Translated)

Moments Held Captive



I whispered to you—
Touch my heart with your hand.
Very gently—
will you feel my body once?

Don't be so restless...
Stay like this for a while—
filling all of my feelings,
in deep embrace.

I am here always—
we still have so much time in our hands.

Why won't you understand?
This time of ours is already gone.

Why didn't you tell me even once—
what happened to you?

You let go of my hand—
I couldn't bear that pain;
that's why it remained unsaid.

I would never have let you go—
if only you had given me one chance!

I want to leave you the greatest gift I found in my life—will you keep it?

What?

Expressed in words—this diary of our moments spent together, our captured feelings.
