It is really you!

Then, the silhouettes stopped me from seeing you

Oh! I know he is the one; but this struggle, is this really true? 

Love is always one sided is what I believed 

When our glances met, my love for you was cleaved. 

Soon we liked, loved and got severely attached 

Our love conquered the whole city but we were jinxed to be detached. 

Seasons changed, years passed, skin is pale but love was still searched for 

New lives came, things were fresh but it was all happening outside because you were still very far. 

Heart skipped a beat when I saw you today

I felt a fresh breeze, new life, a whole new enthusiasm and I was all ready to slay. 

That moment of joy my head was hallow and heart was stupidly in love indeed

Thoughtless, emotions empty, not an iota of physical craving creeped. 

Wiping my tears of delight, I came close to you 

A hand on your neck, a peck on your cheek came not from me but that was your little daughter dove.

Something strong shook me and I realised then, I was so close to you yet I felt you were still not here 

Ran into his arms who always made me feel special and near. 

How kind were you to accept me as I was though you missed me each moment from within 

It took me so long to realise that it was really you and I would like to finally forget the past to move on and begin. 

It is really you! You who has to leave the past in the past because such is life and not everyone will wait for years to accept YOU. 

PS: Inspired by an episode of Modern love ‘when Cupid is a prying journalist’ which shows how we hang on to the past and never realise the fruits of present and future.
