To Hold..

Pieces to closure.

To Hold

The first time I met you,
I was 15, and I swore I never met someone like him,
We had humour, we had bliss, we had us,
A gorgeous rhythmic repartee,
And I knew I liked you in a frenzy.
We talked some more and my bones whispered,
I started to love in a frenzied ember.
You were unsteady, I was terrified,
I was untouched, unbruised, and unshaken.
You were sporadic, and you disappeared,
You went towards emblem of time,
And I, as universe mocks, went with him.

Through 16 to 19, we spoke, yearly,
Our silence within us resonating,
In un-declaration of declared affection,
In a chest close to blood, I hid my secrets,
I can't speak for you, I can't know you,
Instinct kept us clawed,
And silence became a bond.
And yet I still loved you in remembrance.

At 20 you declared your crush,
And I, consumed in a hurricane,
My life thrashed around,
I was touched, and bruised, and shaken,
And I realised love truly now,
But perhaps you sought your closure,
And I stayed within mine,
While you held your silence,
Or your affection in silence,
I continue to love you in reflex,
And I, am holding on to you by reflex.

Now the universe is reeling me towards you,
I see your sign everywhere,
Reading, writing, thinking,
Universe, as she mocks us, is bringing me,
Towards you, and your memory,
In a circle of comical fate,
And I wish,
I hope we meet when we are a little older,
When I am 23, and you are sure,
I hope then we consume our destiny,
I hope then, I am not terrified to hold you,
And you're not far enough to see me,
I hope when I'm 23, we finally meet,
When I finally no more hold you by reflex
I hold you in a promising reality.

Oh come on.
You can't wait until you're twenty-three..!

Life is merciless like that.
Opportunity comes once in a life time, yo. (Sorry, couldn't resist it.)
This can so easily turn into ''I missed out on a wonderful relationship''.

But look at me, going and rumbling about a poem.
It's very well written. And you dragged me into the emotions you felt, or perhaps this isn't driven from personal experience. But either way.

I know what you mean.
I do.

''..It's going to happen. It has to.''

Life is tricky like that. Don't be fooled by the misconception that things won't change, life is brutal like that.

Best of luck. And thank you for the poem.

It is indeed driven from a personal experience, and tell you what, wishes written as poetry do come true! I am not 23 yet, but oh well, sometimes universe grants midnight wishes a little sooner, even if for a while, lol. Thank you for the review, I am glad my poem could drag you into emotions XD
