Love, thy name suggests
fall in love with thyself
but know not why the heart aches
to know a fellow being to fall in love with.
 
It all begins on a sweet summer morn
A person I have known for long
makes me think-
It's time we're serious about the relationship.
 
Oh dear! Too early to decide
but memories of the past make me say-
Though a tug of war goes on
I give myself to you.
 
Love begins, as sweet as it could be
I cherish every moment of it.
His very presence makes me feel
Oh! Life is wonderful with him.
Moments scroll into minutes,
minutes into hours,
hours into days,
days into months.
Oooh! We've been together for years.
Then we start pondering
do we really go well?...
Yes comes the answer
but with a hesitation.
Then we say no and decide to part
leaving behind the sweet memories of togetherness.
 
We turn into good old friends.
Happy to say that but know not why
my heart aches again
Then - I found it was a pleasure
but now - I find myself in sobs.
Later I decide that's the way it ought to be.
 
I've heard love gives pain
I'm experiencing one right now.
But this pain is again a pleasure
Yes! It has taught me a lot.
When I was in love
I was clinging to one person
How crazy of me!
Now I'm on my own
more independent more matured
I'm in a better position to describe love
than any other elderly person.
I still cherish the moments of being in love
but in a varied manner.
 
Thank you Love, for having been with me
I know my life better now.
Now I can say,
Love, I've fallen in love with thyself !
Yes! Love, I Love You !
