Awakening To Love Poem by Arun Maji

I returned and stood Infront of mirror.
Then I smiled to the person in mirror.
And he smiled back.

I discovered he was no longer stranger to me.
I started loving him.
Truly.

My heart filled with joy.

Why?
Because I just saw a flower
That looked like you
Smiled like you
Smelt like you.

Thrilled, I felt like picking it
But I did not.
I could not.
How could I destroy your smile?

Now I know
Why you must stay
As you are.
