An encounter with love

It was like looking at a stranger. I tried my best to map the person standing in front of me to the person I once knew years back. The face of the person I knew always had a sheepish smile pasted on it, it now seemed etched with lines of worries. They had similar eyes, but the eyes that were once bright and full of laughter, looked tired. Lonely and tired.

After what seemed like a lifetime, I mustered up enough courage to go and say hello. I would have gone the moment that I saw him, but something stopped me. It wasn't as if he would really recognize me. And even if he did, what would I say? I questioned myself if it alright for me to have come here. If it was alright to bring back memories from the past. But I had to meet him just this once. Just once so I could finally bring a closure to that incomplete story from many year back.

I cant reflect whats on my mind
These pools of choices aren't so kind
With thymes and roses and tulips and lilies
The bouquet of love presents the cases..
I walk, I climb, I fly, I strive
I push all the limits, I want to dive
Bondage of hearts prevents the move
I see the edge, who am I to prove..
The bondage turns into shackles
I falter, I fall, I see the maple
Reflects in my eyes m y own, my dream
The choice is so hard, I need to scream..
My voice I find no one can hear
I find my love brings me to tears
I swim, I drown, I disappear
My choices stem from my own fears
The sky has turned crimson, I feel red here
I see dragonflies moving everywhere
Crying out so loud is a sound from hill
How can I prevent my heart to hear.
The feelings, emotions, my soul is bare
I want to see the same old care
I plead, I pause, I stop to sing
My turn is done, your turn begins...
