Dear Him

A mystery they said…

Only few could understand it-- others blindsided by it.

Problems seemed meaningless along with the distance-- that I couldn’t fully conquer.

they didn’t approve of our passion, just like Romeo and Juliet, how could we end up here?



Waiting for your reply, Waiting for our encounter, Waiting for a mere sign



The walk was difficult to strive-- you should’ve noticed.

A secret was needed to succeed this destiny.

Missing each other was the highlight of our day

Risking my life for you is the best gift you could ever receive --sometimes it wasn’t enough, you never knew.



The rumors, rumors I heard in town-- quite the newspread on a saturday evening

you only wanted her for pure pleasure even money, they said.

Evading me every second of the say, was your task

Leaving me wondering was your delight



That man, once I loved, has become indeed a stranger-- that I couldn’t evade, nor contact

If I looked at you, eye to eye-- one more time, would you say the same….



Truest misery and torture was this, him hating me and I (myself), trying to love him again…



A mistery that we both feared--

one left and the other that tried…

a very interesting and absorbing write...and talking about "missing each other was the highlight of our day"
maybe missing as in the sense of long for...or missing in the sense of avoiding....the double meaning works so well.
trying to love someone who hates us...quite the task.
