2024

Obstinate, he calls her... the love that refuses to budge

The love that came unannounced to his doorstep

Disrupting his equilibrium

But she will leave one day

Breaking her own heart, before he can tear her apart

Till then, she will love him the way she knows

Deeply, insanely...

June to June, every phase of the moon

In chaos, peace, joy, or gloom

Till he realizes...

He is her soul

She may leave yet she will remain

In the shadows of crowded halls where he speaks

Amidst the thunderous claps honoring his victories

Right next to him when he overthinks

Holding his hand when he is frail

Kissing his lips, when words fail...

Her #2

Mo knows her well. Better than she herself does. 

She loves an emotionally unavailable man and has yielded to his condition of emotional detachment if they are to get involved. She thought it was a good arrangement to keep the heart away, yet have the opportunity to know him closely. He's a beautiful person afterall. When Mo got to know of this, she warned her saying it was against her nature to be friends with benefits. And eventually, she will get heartbroken and heartbreaks are extremely agonizing for her.

She told Mo, adequate safeguarding measures are in place. She is taking a few steps back on the emotional front. The rules now are: No unsolicited care, no initiation of a conversation, no usage of the word - love (written and verbal), and all of it needs to wind up in a year. She will leave and no question must be asked. Individual intentions have been conveyed to one another, quite lucidly.

Sad, right? The girl who wrote about tender romance, matured love, finding the one, eternal togetherness and many more such things has surrendered. Not really sad. She never was meant for those quixotic ideas. She was delusional and she has learnt it the hard way. The present situation is the best she can have. Transparency, and absolute autonomy!
