Strangers

I never knew destiny had conceived our meeting

We met, chatted, conversed, and communicated only to be separated

You were not in my life previously and neither would you be there in future

But for the sake of present, we can continue!

You tried to open new vistas and horizons in my life

Unfortunately, I have confined myself in a cozy cocoon

Your confession of love proved to be a stark reality

The more I deny more it overpowers me

Being a sensitive conscious soul, I made you face the reality

I can’t accept your serene love, neither have I a right to exploit your feelings

My nature doesn’t allow me to be deceptive in love

To an innocent soul who thinks is mature enough for love

The short meeting ended too soon

Leaving behind a trail of sadness and saga of pain

Sikander is yet unable to understand

Whether we were better as strangers or now as ‘lovers’
