Move on!

 Hello everyone, this is Mohammad Yusuf. I hope you all are healthy and doing well. After so many months I am back with a poem. This poem is the last chapter of the one sided lover's story. With this chapter this imaginative story will come to an end. This is a free verse poem with mixed rythmic scheme. The poem went lil bit long because this is the final chapter. Hope you will love it. Tried to write something after a very long time. Here we go.

"Falling in love is easy but moving on is the hardest task. At last it's you against you fighting for yourself."

                                  "Move On!"

Hey girl, look I am back,

One last time, here we go again.

I hope you missed me, well, am I right?

Nah, I don't think so.

Are you trying to erase our memories? I think so.

I want to take you on the most beautiful ride through my words one last time,

Trust me, it will be the memories for your lifetime.

They called me a storyteller,

And I wrote the stories your eyes told me.

They called me a dreamer,

I dreamt about what love would feel like with my skin in your hand.

They called me a maniac,

Because I saw your side which no one else did.

I was the bullet left idle in your gun,

With just one slip of the trigger and there's no looking back.

Truth doesn't always set us free, my lips confessed my love for you,

And I was imprisoned by your absence.

Yes, I lost the game of love with you,

Your love came at a price I couldn't afford.

I still see your colourful presence in dreams,

In front of that glimpse even rainbow seemed black and white.

Since I lost you, I am not the same person you left,

I manifested tales of Bruce Wayne and you became my rachel.

In our stories we were like parallel lines, close but never met.

Just wanted to remind you that people come and go but love remains,

Sometimes beautiful and sometimes a beautiful ache but love remains.

The spark between us could've created an entire universe,

But we decided to be planets in different orbits.

I wanted to know how you smiled when I was not there,

I couldn't help myself but picture a life,

Cuddling under the moon with your favourite cake,

Fighting over who gets the last slice.

They said you had a cold heart,

Is that why you burnt mine just to keep yours warm?

I wish there wasn't so much of you left behind in me,

Your every leftover piece is reviving the demon in me.

I still feel you found me in places, I had yet to find myself.

Very few souls feel like home and you were one of them,

And now I don't have access to that home anymore.

I fell in love and then fell apart but falling apart doesn't seem as bad,

When you are the one helping me to pick up the pieces.

I sabotaged my light so that I can make you shine harder,

After that I was left alone in the dark corner.

I wanted a perfect date with you and your heart under moonlight,

But you always came with your brain that too on wrong time.

I will never be what you want me to be,

So stop trying to fit me into that convoluted little box of yours.

My problem was I kept searching for forever,

In places that led to no where.

I stood like a tall tree, my leaves are now falling and I am changing,

I was not meant to stay the same.

Consider what a shadow is like without its host,

And now you can imagine how lost I was without you.

If it's ever your aim to hurt me, don't worry I break my own heart with it's expectations.

I kept losing sight of what could heal me,

Because I was constantly chasing after you.

We built bridges only to burn them and then 

wonder why we feel so lost and far from home.

You never left behind any explanations for your affections,

I was always left to wonder what the hell we even were .

I am glad I was able to keep your idle affection warm,

While you waited for greener grass to graze on.

I wish I could steal the Doraemon's anywhere door,

So I can silently stalk you sometimes.

Please, don't come knocking on the door to my heart,

Love doesn't live here anymore.

There are questions in my eyes, you desperately need to answer.

My skin is a blank page to write your confessions,

Carve those sins into me and we will burn once it's over.

I only wanted you to love me with all my flaws,

I came beautifully packed with imperfections.

Now I am waiting for someone to wrap me in new love,

Because I have forgotten what it feels like.

I wish one day you will wish you had looked into my eyes,

But they will be somewhere watching butterflies, first rain and fireflies at night.
