Black Poem by Mantrana Mahi Agarwal

I see you,
You see me,
Our eyes talk to each other,
But every step I take
Feels like we're drifting apart
Like continents which were once together,
And now are separated by oceans

Every time I think of you
A thousand memories flash
But when meet the friendship hues
Everything becomes pitch black

And every time our eyes clash,
It feels like an eternity since we spoke,
And it's like we're on the same road,
Ready to go our separate ways
And I take a step towards you,
But then all the things you did,
comes rushing back
Like a cookbook full of magical recipes
The pages flutter by,
And every time it does,
Lashes get wet

But even after all this,
I won't drown in this pool of emotions
I'll stay strong because
Stars always need darkness to shine.
