Why…

 “In your light I learn how to love, In your beauty, I learn how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.”                                                           

                                                                                               – Rumi

I thought you gave up on the memories

But you stayed silent and still spoke to my heart

While I kept waiting for your decision

You decided against me but still couldn’t depart

Your pain is beyond any imagination

Then how would the flower(you) and essence(I) stay apart.

I am willing to live with your memories because

You left physically but your presence didn’t depart

What I couldn’t see in all my senses, now I see

You cornered me but that corner was inside your heart…
