Stubborn Love

Just as the automated door,

Was about to close,

I saw you, upfront almost,

But to look away, I chose.

 

I noticed those image-building lies,

Reflecting now in your eyes,

But I couldn’t overlook the pious grace,

Given away by that forever grim familiar face.

 

Your hastened breaths,

Through the crowd, I could hear,

I wonder, if the beats were audible,

Emanating from this resilient heart here, 

 

I was in the process of discarding,

Vestiges from my life,

But today, changes everything,

Including my fed-up mind.

  

I do not know how,

To come back to you again.

Unwarranted words spoken in the past,

Bridges washed away by ensuing pain.

 

Like you, I might have become too stoic,

But the tendency to nurture love, survives.

And I couldn’t help it anymore,

In your presence, a lot revives.

 

You must now know,

I seek nothing in return,  

Take one step towards me,

I will script the rest of the sojourn.

 

Having seen the real world, 

Do you not agree?

The only world that ever mattered, 

Was the one you built with me?
