984: He & She Poem by Catastrophe KING

Many years ago; he and she had met under common circumstances. They had met casually and knew each other for about a year. He had developed some passion but was shy and she knew nothing about that. Many years later, they met again! He was settled but she was ruffled! He had his own life and she was trying to get away from strife. Read on:

They had been together for a year,
But now, all he can feel is fear!
He tried to give it all that he could give;
Without her, was just not the way he wanted to live!

But, she was gone without a backward glance,
Gone, not even giving him that only chance!
He often wonders what he could have done,
To try & hold her from going on the run!

And, now that he knows, she is living all alone,
With very little life spent - she can call her own!
Back then, she could barely feel his heart beat,
But now, he prays for her life to be complete.

Today, the woman of his fantasy is moving along,
Building her courage and faith; trying to be strong!
And, he only prays for time to heal her broken pride,
He prays; towards the sunrise, let her heart glide!
