Oh heart!

Oh heart.. you got hurt, didn't you?

Still, you're so eager to love?

Still, you wish they could understand your love?

Still, you wish them love?


But is it really love that you want?

It's not even about love, is it?

It's not even about heartbreak.

It's just the unanswered questions,

The wishful hopes,

The unwritten promises,

The unvalued touch!


Still you wish to love?

But oh Love..

You run away from love, don't you?

You love the unbothered, the unheld,

the unattentive kind- don't you?

Because you want to be free, yet bonded

You want to breathe, yet feel suffocated in love!

You hope someone will be there-

Not just to receive love, but to simply be in love.

You hope someone will love the way you do

Without turning love into hurt- for them, or for you.

Yet still.. you got hurt!


And still, you hope..

Still, you long..

Still, your heart wants to love!
