First love

A face, only to realize beauty exist

Eyes only dive deeper, in the oceans of fire

Smile, only to know that I can smile

A heartbeat, only to realize love

a love between two strangers 

a strangers who become soulmate

but grew apart in cosmos.

I went on the road ignoring the message on the board 

beware said it, but was so young to care 

excited to meet, we met 

she laughed, i felt better

she was shining like sun in day 

she was shining like moon in night

we became friends, thought of no end.

Days passed now we became friend, 

we mailed, we messaged, we talked, 

but something was changed, talks were different

words became work, schoolworks

differences was built like wall between two terrain 

she smiled when I looked, but laughed with someone else

I did everything, tried to achieve that laugh

but only to realize her and mine life was different. 

Now was the time, to make decision of future

but fate played she wanted to walk on different path

but I wanted her, only to gamble my life on her 

came to know she went on that path for someone she loved

I was told when i told her that I loved her 

she played violin for him as he played piano 

I played with words for her but she smiled

I was lost on the path, to realize I was alone without her

I tried one more gamble to play game of love with her

but risk was high, I tried but failed

Days passed with unsaid things day by day 

so today was the last day of school, last exam 

one of the most beautiful smile 

while leaving she looked and smiled, then 

talks stopped, messages stopped. mails stopped 

I vowed to forget her, i didn't stopped loving her 

she was heartbeat, she was blink, she was life

so days passed, today I seat on the way back to home 

I saw her in the car looking like the first time I saw her 

she smiled, her eyes were the same looking at me

I smiled, got up and walked on the path which I took.

I would like to begin by saying, you speak through soul and sadness. I love the imagery that you use to express your deepest feelings. The way you longed for your soul mate. To conjoin with them to be one. It is a classic tale that sadly ends in tragedy. I too can relate to such a thing but that is what makes this so much more immersive. You have put what most have felt into a tightly written poem. I thank you for this. You have done a very good job.
