The Unrequited Love

By Payal Mehrotra

Love o’ love, o’ love , o’ love

I saw a glimpse of you when I was still learning how to cry

Between the boo-hoo, boo-hoo, boo-hoo

I learnt how to laugh n wry.

I felt it in the touch of his hands

It was truly ecstatic and an eternal bliss

With his lips melting on mine, it was amazingly grand

O that kiss, that first kiss 💋

I smelt it when we found solace,

in each other’s arms

That heavenly moment, that fiery embrace

For me it was an ethereal celebration which had it’s own charm

I tasted it while drenching myself

in the lagoon of my tears

That yearning for thou and thyself

set a melancholic tone for years

I hear it each n everyday,

with my heart sulking for him, with each passing day

I just wish someday he realizes it n feels

Before my clock stops ticking and leaves on wheels...
