C'est La Vie....

I hate not him

Nor do I hate myself

For the cup of love

Is still filled to the brim

The thoughts in the head

To think, to know that

I mean nothing to him who was the world to me

Is what renders me dead

A tilted neck,

Eyes caught in the mirror

I see a pearl

That needs to be checked

Close...open

Close...open

Hoping against

Hope hopen

The eye now has a shine

The pearl courses along the rim of the eyelid

It stays and wells on the brim for a while, contemplating its decision

Before flowing downwards in a line

Moistening the dry cheek

It goes on to trace

The curve of the nose

And once more, all is bleak

Touching the lip,

It enters my mouth unauthorized

So much like him entering my life

Thee I taste and flip

Not salty it was

Like I expected

Devoid of love, taste, the ability to feel

Life I realized is at pause

I hate not him

Nor do I hate myself

For the cup of love

Is still filled to the brim

Today, having known what "love" feels like, I can answer that question. To fall in love, does not take a month or six, or some years and beyond.

All it takes is a moment. And you know that you are gone for life.

For some, that moment may be right when their eyes meet with someone, for others it might take years of random conversations and laughters shared.

People often say that they are confused if they are in love or not, but when love happens (Yes, it just happens), you are either in love or you are not. It's as simple or as complicated as that.

You dream of spending your entire life with that one person, having your own world with him/her, and you are not afraid to commit.

So guys, if any of YOU is in love and hasn't yet communicated it to the object of your affection, due to whatever reasons, GO! Go tell them now!! Cos it's an amazing feeling! Even if you are scared that the person may not reciprocate your sentiments, you have got to try and give it a fighting chance!
