Love Me Not Until.....

Life was funny.

I was running fast.

Yet, 

No one ever said,

Why was I coming last?

Nobody loves me!

Grew up in secrets & whispers,

As if my life was a black box.

Nobody loves me!

My heart cried into a coffin,

Unloved trapped in fate’s lock.

Nobody loves me!

Amid the darkness, Sun was blooming in the sky.

Is not knowing who am I in modern love a lie? 

Nobody loves me!

I didn’t know, I didn’t know.

Until I saw a bird on a mulberry bough.

Do I love myself?

My heart skipped a beat, 

Like bitterness of neat. 

Do I love myself?

I gulped down the feeling,

Something was healing.

Do I love myself?

Until one day love knocked at my door,

Why is expecting fewer mean getting more?

Ah! Love.

Ready to sweep me off my feet,

Was I ready to meet?

Love!

Yet I faced love with grace,

to free me from my secret fate.

I found love in the least expected way,

But to know the meaning, it had to go away.

I embraced love with open arms and smiled.

And said…. 

Love me not until I know how to let you go.

To love you I must love myself before.

So, Love me not until….
