Together No More Poem by Neetika Rajpal

I still vividly remember
The day we first met
It was a late summer evening
The sun had just set…

You were on the other side of the 'window'
Yet you seemed a world away
I knew I had to make you mine
There couldn't be any other way!

Hesitantly, I approached you
Scared that you won't understand
That you would make fun of my feelings
And refuse to hold my hand.

But the 'gentle' soul that you were
You gave yourself over to me
And just as simple as that
‘You' and ‘I' became ‘We'!

You put a spring in my 'step'
You made me stand 'tall'
You made me feel 'beautiful'
With you, I could never 'fall'.

I remember how we ran laughing down the 'aisle'
How we danced and we swirled
Our love was there for all to see
We were the 'envy' of the world

Rarely did two souls ever ‘fit' so perfectly
True love was hard to find..
Then why did you suddenly ‘break' away from me?
What made you change your mind?

Do you even know
How mercilessly you 'stamped' on my heart?
I'm back to being as ‘alone'
As I was at the very start

And now I really don't know
What I'm going to do…
Where am I going to find another
Beautiful pair of red stilettos like you? ?
