Lovers' Labyrinth

Maybe they've seen a better place,
Been through a better phase.
One that lasted forever.
Not because it was brimming with delights and smells.
Because they never tried to win, something that was never a race.


Umpteen disappointments, and another truckload later.
What was seen, was peaceful togetherness.
Because there, what actually and only mattered for once, was love, and nothing else.


For he had been through it all.
He knew of roses, eyes and kisses.
And also knew, these weren't what she saw in her own eyes.
When she walked on the grass,
She longed for a heartfelt smile on his face,
A glance of that, and away she would go.


A tear in her eye, and he wouldn't say a word.
She wanted it just like that.
When they realised they couldn't be themselves in the midst
Of a multitude of clashed perspectives.
Each went home, knowing what was, is, and will be. Content.




They knew they had to part ways.
But they knew, their hearts were bound for eternity.
So what at first appeared a haze,
Seemed now to be the best they could have ever received.
As they walked in opposite directions, they only felt closer than ever.
