You have no idea
        how many times
        i tried to look for you
        in every pair of eyes
        i have met.
There are times when
           the memory of you
           poured down on me
           like splashes of rain.
And then I wonder
           do you still think of me?
***to the one that got away.
Her eyes ensign the ether above
Her lip is like a bee kissing a flower
Her sweet voice is a lullaby in dawn
I like to put her in a snowball-
His eyes told him.

She is a sister of a falling star,  
A fairy who bewitched men,
A mermaid who came from the sea
You're a magician, hide her in a crypt-
His mind whispered.

Her dreams will become your goals
Her words will make you kneel
You will be a slave in her kingdom
And I am not yet ready for heartaches-
His fast-beating heart interrupted.
There's a sweet tale yet untold
Embroidered by the time alone
Two young crossed lovers,
Caught in the midst of throe

Your eyes, my quilt during nightfall
Your lips, inked on my blue soul
"You are a hallmark of perfection", she wrote.
Sadly, he didn't fancy reading.

I have waited countless fortnights
Only to witness thee, my kryptonite
"You're my certain in this world full of uncertainties" he said.
But his echoes did not reach her.

You are her utopia and you are his euphoria
"You're meant to be but not on this lifetime", cursed fate.
Cruel how time can turn passionate lovers-
Into strangers with some memories.

Maybe, some tales end happy
But not all stories will, until then
He is ,still, her achilles heel while
She, is his forlorn unrequited love.
***this is for all the lines that drifted and didn’t meet.

— The End —
