Love, no more
We sat today at the same place,where we were sitting some months back.
It was that same stairs, the same wall.
Yet, it was a different you and a different me.
As I contemplate now all the things said and done,
I realise how much of a gap their is in our relationship now.
You no longer smile at me that much.
You no longer look out for me.
When I withdraw, you stand by aloof,
waiting and watching,
while in previous times you used to rush to my side,
quick to comfort and care.
I am still holding on to something that doesn't exist anymore.
Maybe I should do justice to what used to be,
between me and you,
and walk away with a smile on my face.
I have no hurtful feelings about you.
At some point in time, we were so close that I feared to be apart from you.
Now it seems that being far from you is my only option.
Your hugs no longer convey the rush of feelings they once did.
Your love, no longer warming me.
No love anymore.
What remains is more of a camaraderie,
a good feeling between friends,
a shadow of something that used to be,
but isn't anymore.
I realise that I loved love.
I loved the rush of feelings and the heady ecstasy that love brought.
You were everything I wanted for sometime.
You were kind and nice and caring.
And then love left us.
When love leaves a relationship, selfishness takes over.
The small things you do for you,
when before you used to do it for me.
Alas, I will mourn for the demise of something beautiful.
I hope in time I will find you again,
in another being entirely.
A new you, and same old me.
