A Tale of Two Lovers- Part 1
Just like yesterday
I remember how I poked at your shoulders
Looked into your eyes and told you
“I love you”
Those words I hoped to God
That you understood it was my promise
My promise of a thousand unspoken words in three
I love you I said
Did you understand?
.
Like a scene from my favorite romance movie
You pulled me in a loving embrace
The breeze blowing softly around us
The sun with just the right amount of intensity
No peeking eyes lol
Creating the perfect ambience for the moment to come
Your eyes staring into mine
Repeating those same words
“I love you” with a “too”
I love you too

.
I earnestly searched in the windows of your heart
For reassurance that it held true
I was met with eyes with such blazing passion yet kind
(one of the beautiful things about you)
Allaying most of my doubts
And I thought, deep in my heart you did understand.
.
Days turned into weeks
Weeks, months
Fast forward to when the bliss was over
And almost a year later
We walk past each other
Almost as though we were strangers
.
Strangers?
I could literally feel my heart ache
Just by the sight of you
I just couldn’t
I couldn’t look upon that face
That I’ve come to learn every of its contours and lines
Or lips that has assured me in every possible way
.
Probably it was my heart’s protest
The squeezing pain I felt in my chest
Or an actual heart attack
Against these words
“I think it will be best to go….”
Even now it’s hard to complete that awful statement
.
I think I bought into your idea of forever
Now I have to live without YOU in my ever
Sad
Breakfast served and eaten!
