Love can be strong, yet so fragile!

They met as destiny wanted it that way,
Only to realise that they enjoyed each others minds sway.
They started off with small friendly talks,
And nurtured it with even more friendly walks,

Days and months passed,
And they realised that their own lives have crossed,
All possible signs showed them that they were just born for each other,
Alongside the thought that this is actually impossible whatsoever.

Families were always a concern,
And more for these kin-lanterns.
Even though they were swept off their feet,
The road to family harmony always beat.

There couldn’t have been a deeper understanding,
Between two humans as was now happening,
Living a virtual life without a hitch,
Just thinking that the heart’s happiness is the true measure of being rich.

Alas, there came a time when things had to change,
Reality rose up to sweep all of it to a stage
Where it triggered a new direction altogether,
Beyond comprehension whatsoever.

There came another girl who had to be his own,
A situation where the old duo had to give up without a frown,
All came like a wind,
And left them bewildered within.

Since then, its only time that keeps passing by,
But the love in their hearts never,
Years fly by,
But even now the past makes them quiver.

Is it justifiable to retain that true love,
Or will the world call it unethical???
Only he that ploughs and sows,
Will know the pain and blow.

None but they will understand,
The lumber in their hearts.
Dark memories still haunt these souls,
Who meant no harm, nor went astray like fowl.

Is it the concern for their families,
That has stolen their lives forever???
Or is it their lack of courage to persuade
That has made them stay within forever??!!

The course of true love never did run smooth!
