On one of those mundane days
As I darted a glance outside the train
The train whistling ahead
unaware of my beating heart
unaware of my chaotic soul
As I fumbled with my thoughts
trying to find out the meanings behind your words
trying to find out why those words made me smile
I realised you might be more than special
Yet, I brushed away my thoughts
Rebuking myself, rebuking my thoughts
Then, as the next day dawned and crawled
Then, as the dusk bloomed in the crimson skies
I heard you fumbling with words
And I knew what was there inside your heart
Yet, I pretended not to understand
Yet, I pretended to laugh it off
As you admitted that you loved me
I turned away my head and told you it is impossible
And you turned your head to me and told me it is fine
You told me it is fine even if I don’t love
You told that solving the riddle in your heart
is only your responsibility and not mine.
Then, as the days crawled and trundled
I realised again and again
that I can no longer ignore
what my heart said to me
that I can no longer hide
What my heart poured to me
Finally, I decided to let my heart go
Finally, I untied the shackles I bound my heart in
And it ran to you, catching a breath and told you
that I loved you too!
