The first time I saw you
Waiting for me to arrive
But I stood at a distance
Observing the person
Who had come to meet me
Fascinated by the simplicity
Fascinated by the innocence
Not that I was disappointed
Nor was I appalled
I was here to meet someone
With no prospect of forming
Any sort of bond
Or that was what I told myself
So as I sat across you
Listening to what you had to say
Couldn’t help feel how different we were
A total opposite to each other
But yet here we were
Two souls from different strata of society
Poles apart, as common as
Chalk and cheese
Your story fascinated me
And in the most strangest way
could related to it
Saw myself in your place
A common thread
That would end up binding us
Like the universe
plotting to bring us together
To fill in the gaps that we had in life
So though sparks didn’t fly
At that first meeting ,
Even though we had been
chatting for long
We were drawn to each other
Kindred spirits
Two lonely souls that
Walked the world
Wanting to be loved
As much we had loved
Trying to understand
As much as we longed
To be understood
To make sense of things and people
Who made no sense to us
And so what started off
As a simple friendship
Blossomed into something more deeper
Something more beautiful
We met clandestinely
Away from the prying eyes of the world
Cause the world would never
Understand us or even make an attempt
So we met under the moonlit skies
Only the stars and the moon
To light our way
Holding on to each other
In sweet embrace
Breaking up at the slight sign
of life or noise
For the fear of being caught
- But this fear made the moment
Even more passionate
The fruits of forbidden love
We had each other
To keep us safe and warm
Passion burning bright
Keeping the cold and the world at bay
Every touch, every caress
Brought a feeling of elation with it
Making us even more bold
Never wanting to come out
Of the embrace, of the locked lips
Or leave each other
But then life needs to be lived
We needed to move on but not apart
Just distance of a few hundred miles
To be added between us
I promised myself not long and pine
And just keep on smiling and living
Cause I know what happens
Happens for the best
May not be your best
For the best of others
But the heart wants what the heart wants
And so even though you promised yourself
Your heart overrules that
Making you break the promise
You made to yourself
You begin to miss and pine
Till it begins to hurt, begins to ache
A beautiful trauma that you can’t escape
Your love, like a drug
Has got me addicted
Got me hooked on to you
You have infected my very being
Making me miss you till it hurts
And some how I don’t think
I can ever escape the grasp
Of this addiction, of this fox
Of the spell you have casted on me
I don’t think I even want to come out of it
Your are like wine
That has intoxicated my being
You taste a bit bitter
You taste so sweet
making me want more and more of you
Making me long for you
I could have a case of your
But I would still be on my feet
Wanting more, longing for more
Something that will never go
Till I am by your side
And even though
I have managed to calm
This wild, untamed heart
I know it will beat for you
Forever more
