Love Never Left Us

You entered my life, 

with an insignificant swift entry, so did I in your life,

As if there's no "US" in "YOU" and "ME", I continued to ignore your presence,

But no matter how much we pull apart, destiny dragged us back

me to you, you to me,

till I started noticing myself in your absence, so miserable and restless,

eyes always looking for you.

You are the one who explained to me what love is, in words and in feeling,

World conspiring for us, 

Wind blowing through your beautiful hair felt soft on my face

Rains touching your luscious lips, falling on my hand 

And the gestures of your wavy eyes, Oh my...

My heart follows wherever your steps hit.

From standing on your regular way, an hour before and hour after

To feeling your hand on me as you sit on my bike.

From waiting outside the classroom for you, 

To sitting with you, our fingers intertwined.

World was in my feet when you held my hand,

I got you, I got everything,

Stories of our love, floating across the town,

Yet we continued to be painted in red, Your lips landing on mine,

I realized I was growing differently like plants grow with sunshine,

As if you are a bundle of lessons,

I am not me when I am with you,

It feels like magic when I am you,

I love the way you love me,

And I love the way when I pray for you

Oh Love, let's be forever like this,

with my name on your hand,

and your dreams in my eyes.

But the destiny didn't let any stone unturned,

We were together in a moment,

and in another, we were apart,

Years of separation,

 All the hatred, All the envy,

Kept us away from forgiving each other.

And the salt of memories,

Kept us away from forgetting each other.

Your accusations burnt me alive,

Our meeting points smell now,

Our memories kill now,

And my heart now fears from those older roads.

I still wait for your call, Even though I know you'll never

I know your reasons, I understand your anger,

Still I wish that Time may heal us.

A lot has changed,

But our destiny is still the same, though the games it plays now are different

The fate brought us together again,

With all hate and anger, we greet each other,

You mesmerizing eyes still takes me away,

but your words slaps me back to reality,

There's no "US" but "ME" and "YOU" feels incomplete

I want to move away from you, still fear you'll too move on.

We can see the love in each other's eyes, still refuse it under heavy reality,

We can see pain in each other's life, still ignore it like strangers,

Why do we have to meet? Why do we have to be in love? Why do we have to be apart after so much love?

Why doesn't the world ends,

Why doesn't my lifeless breaths stop,

Why doesn't my shallow heart forgets to beat.

Our story from being strangers, to madly in love and finally bruised strangers again. 

So incomplete , yet complete.

We are destined to be together,

Yet destined to be apart,

The more fate brings us close, the more it drags us apart,

I feel bruised after this push and pull,

Still, somehow I know it is a part of the love that we shared,

A love that has ended,

You have left, I have left,

But our love never left us.
