And then ....
I promised myself I wouldn't love again
And then I met you.
It is 4 am - the time when my thoughts work hard to keep me awake
And then we were talking and chatting.
I was happy for the first time in a long time
And then I knew I had fallen deep.
It ought to have been difficult with my life a scattered thousand pieces
And then you showed me every piece need not be in place to be beautiful.
I didn't even know if my pieces were all there
And then you made me believe love can be found in imperfect, lost and broken people too.
It was a lonely island this life of mine , where ships were forbidden to touch the shores
And then you crash landed on the beach.
I had fought so many battles with pirates that everyone seemed to be one
And then you appeared as an adept sailor.
It was an instant feeling of inevitability when I met you
And then we crossed the threshold from friendship to love.
I believed you were destined to know me better than anyone else ever did
And then our lives conspired to converge into a cosmic dance.
It was not easy to hold onto me with all the scattered thorns piercing my heart
And then you carried me in your arms oh so gently.
I was quiet so many times and kept tripping over my own feet so often
And then you gave me the look that stole my heart and dragged me out of the labyrinth of my weeded thought.
It was beautiful and magical that of all the people in the world your soul met mine
And then it happened we were one - mind and body.
I had finally found the love that I had waited for all my life
And then you let me believe we could make it even against the odds.
It was ironic - you were my sunshine, my joy, my dreams , my cure
And then you were also my darkness , my tears, my fears and my illness.
I was found shattered and you took time to patiently fix me
And then you turned around to break me.
It isn't easy to love someone who the world doesn't approve of
And then you realised you couldn't kiss me on the streets or show me off to the world.
I knew you were someone I couldn't be with forever
And then you spelt it out that our time was now and limited.
It wasn't easy with the brain telling me one thing and the heart another
And then I wished circumstances were different.
I wanted your last name, your lazy sunday mornings, your laughs, your arms around my waist, your belonging
And then I wanted to do your laundry, cook romantic dinners with scented candles in our tree house and discover the world with you.
It was my dream that the other side of my bed belong to you , our fingers intertwined
And then you loosened your fingers and made way for my hands to slip away slowly.
I was reminded that I had a past that didn't have you
And then you remembered you had a future that couldn't figure me.
It was the best phase of my life and would always be
And then it wasn't meant to be.
I was the ocean with stunning mystery and deep secrets
And then you were just a boy who loved the waves and knew he couldn't swim.
It was true love I knew and believed you knew it too
And then suddenly it wasn't that simple - it was Ephemeral and had to end.
I knew he was my head
And then he had to turn heel.
