That One Sided Love

A poem about love

One look at you after all this time,
Is enough to bring back old memories of mine.
Those awkward yet caring moments,
That were followed with silence only to be broken with a smile.
The warmth of your hand next to mine sitting close,
The little arguments that were over before the night dawned.
Speaking with just a glimpse of an eye,
Gestures conveying more feelings than spoken words.
Looking at you yet keeping a distance,
Controlling the overflowing emotions with persistence.
Knowing all along what my heart wants,
Yet holding myself back because you are out of bounds.
Unexpectedly charming, alluring, mysteriously warm,
These feelings are hard to express yet fiercely strong.
Each moment spent with you is now etched in my memory,
Sometimes I reminiscence in them and smile to myself in glory.
For, it is hard to fall in love with the one you can not call yours,
But the strength of one sided love is too strong to ignore.
These feelings often surface bringing the memories to shore,
But with it lies the magic of love,
Which comes unexpectedly knocking at our doors.

shabiyaswati, any kind of love is good, even the one-sided kind. It teaches us more than anything to appreciate the two-sided kind of love when it finally comes our way. A great poem to read.
