Poem # 159 Our Tryst……

  
The million times, I re-read our conversations,
Time spent wondering, if your words were true;
Strong attraction, made us give into temptations,
Ease with which, we journeyed through taboo. 

You convinced me, to leave my beliefs behind,
I shunned, all my usual thoughts of caution;
Eerily I found myself, always nodding blind,
No matter what, your want or your notion. 

We were so alike, yet so different,
In our thoughts, words and deeds;
In a world that felt, incomplete and indifferent,
I felt that, you were my missing piece.

As suddenly, as you came into my life,
One day, you chose to be gone;
Not a care after, to check in on my strife,
Failed promise, of your shoulder to lean on.

Your carried on, with your life as normal,
Leaving me, crying rivers behind;
How I wish, this was not our final,
That your actions, took root at being kind. 

How can I forget you, and move on,
When you are engraved, in my mind forever;
If anything, our tryst makes my conviction strong,
My heart will now, never settle for anyone lesser!
