Lovers



Lovers

Star-crossed lovers,
With eyes full of wonder,
One still loves the other,
But he does not bother.

The mistakes he has done,
The disappointment he gave her scared him
And so he ran and ran,
Until he could no more.

He sighed in relief, thinking he outran the past,
He did not bother on looking back.
He knew nothing, that the past was right in front of him
Smiling, laughing, and talking to him.

Everytime he looks at her,
Feelings rekindle inside of him,
No, no. This is not what he wanted.
He wanted peace, he did not want to be bothered.

May he find eternal peace someday.
