You Wonder…. Poem by Angelina Pandian

You wonder – If
I am mad, I know!
“I was not distant
I did not draw a line
I appreciated
When it was due
I did what I had to
Nothing more”
You think within,
I know.
But, why do I follow you
Like a moth the flame
What nectar you held
To make me drown in you
The twinkling eyes
The open smile
The whispered words
Of comfort, of flattery & praise
It was all this too,
But, I only remember
You walking beside me
That first evening
Your presence, so strong
It filled my mind
And made my heart
Wait and want
To see you, once again!
