Blessed indeed are pairs,
Who find and live their love.
But love is a tale of solemn defiance,
You choose from “one of the above”.
Tonight I choose you,
Over everyone else,
Irrespective of their standing or claim,
Be that in thought or in flesh.
Matter no more, in a life so brittle.
I try finding words,
But to no avail.
What I see, is inexplicable,
Like others, will we also fail?
Were we always so frail?
Our stories speak otherwise.
Beyond your plastic veils,
Somewhere inside, love must thrive.
You have the strength,
The kind love demands,
But not the patience,
Nor the faith to take a chance.
I see you, and I wish
I could give words to your silence,
Heal your pain,
And bridge the distance.
The next time we come across,
Leave your veil behind.
I will meet as the stranger,
I have been for a while,
Let us give the cosmos,
A moment to record and rewind.
