I knew her
I knew her before him
Before they met
Before his eyes became her mirror
Before he started whispering sweet nothings in her ear
Before she smiled at his sight
Before she started wanting more with him
Before her heart started feeling complete with him
Before she could lose her mind in his touch and find refuge in his voice.
I knew her before him
When I could still roam the corridors and rooms of her heart and not find her nestled in his arms
I knew her before 'she' became 'them'
When I still had a chance
When I could tell her how I feel
I knew her before him
I knew her,
The one who got away.

I knew her
I knew her before him
Before they met
Before his eyes became her mirror
Before he started whispering sweet nothings in her ear
Before she smiled at his sight
Before she started wanting more with him
Before her heart started feeling complete with him
Before she could lose her mind in his touch and find refuge in his voice.
I knew her before him
When I could still roam the corridors and rooms of her heart and not find her nestled in his arms
I knew her before 'she' became 'them'
When I still had a chance
When I could tell her how I feel
I knew her before him
I knew her,
The one who got away.
When I wrote this poem, I wrote it for mainly two reasons, the first - never taking the actual leap and going for someone you like, sharing how you feel and not holding back. The second - in life you actually dream or imagine the perfect human being for you without knowledge that the person actually exists. And when you find the person often times there is an obstacle. This poem centered around those themes. And I hope you can reflect on what has been written.
