An year ago began a story,
Like any other,
Two lovers live a tale,
A journey, a song ready to be played.
The Boy~
Chasing his dreams, the handsome boy knew no bounds,
Falling in love was the last thing his mind could topple around.
But destiny had a surprise in store,
His life was going to change,
His heart even more.
A dream came by,
Smile worth a million dimes.
His heart skipped a beat,
In that moment,
Destiny wrote their names,
with a heart in between.
He never thought someone could understand him so well,
To believe what he said,
To feel what he could not tell.
He knew he had found the one,
Whom he could trust,
Who cared for his innocence,
Whom he loved more than anyone.
Time passed, things changed.
Fights , ego , laughter,sorrow, paid a visit.
But the bond still remained,
Forged by destiny,
His love will always remain the same
The girl~
She had the world at her feet,
Excelled at everything,
But still,
A void remained down deep.
Meeting him, something struck her heart,
Her father's presence came to life.
She knew he was the one,
Whom she could trust,
Things she told none.
She found him a little dumb,
Naive to what the world had become.
She knew she had to protect him,
Against all harms life brought within.
To feel his touch was what she wanted,
But destiny put her to test,
Her wish was not granted.
Living at the mercy of fate,
She knew she could not stop,
He told her often"THIS TOO SHALL PASS".
Time passed, things changed,
Tears, silence, ego crept in.
But even then they came out as one.
Her love was something uncommon.
Even a thousand miles seemed less, often.
The Poet~
I can't tell you what is true,
I am a poet,
My poems are at the mercy of love's virtue
I feel this story has just begun,
To be remembered by many, not one.
Their love is pure,
I can feel it inside,
For I heard them whisper" FOREVER STAY BY MY SIDE."
I've seen them live,
I've seen them love.
Now I see them rest, beside one another.
A feet apart they lay,
My occasional visits and nature,
Are the only ones who stay.
Some days the winds blow heavy,
Nature uses its brute force.
I still stand in the rain,
My ritual cannot go in vain.
Just as I near the end of our conversation,
Something old catches my eye,
Engraved in the stones,
It still makes me smile.
My steps recede, the music silently dies..
The tombstones say
" FOREVER STAY BY MY SIDE".
I see the world today and lasting love seems to be a myth. The world works on change. People change faster than new clothes. And so does love. Short and sweet..
