Who Knew...

I ran upstairs to my room

He was coming, yes!

Never been this happy!

Oh! The wall paint is wearing off

Fixed it right, painted the whole room light

Clean sheets on the bed

A poster of nine puppies

And then you arrived

Surprised I was- it made me numb

All this while I wanted this all

And now it is here

You took me in your arms and calmed me down

“It happens, sweets.”

And then those words

Which at that time I thought were in a compulsion

And I didn’t want to respond likewise

Standing on the hilltop in the woods

With the Sun so down and all dark

And you standing right behind me

Close enough to hear each other’s heartbeat

And suddenly it was all complete

And today,

You say that we haven’t been able to grow with each other

Suddenly all you can see is pain

Your fears are larger than your love for me

What happened, my dear?

Today, you know I would do it

For your happiness

Wipe it all off- clean slate

But make me believe in this

Like you did it with love- effortlessly

With the meaning of those three words together and that nod

I gave you the power to destroy me

Or to make me the happiest one alive

The choice is yours

And I trust you still

For you are next to Godliness for me

And I know you won’t need reasons

But everything will remind you

Of the hills, the pups, grey skies and craziness

Yes, you can choose not to be with me

But you can’t separate you from me… can u!

Yet, today, I am letting you go...
