Unrequited Love

Unrequited and unanswered it goes,

Still is a reason for efforts and vows,

Redefining the circumstances,

Reconstructing the instances,

Between infatuation and crush,

Someone becomes the adrenaline rush.



Pure and selfless in its quest,

Completely a one sided behest,

Makes you strong and inspires to run,

When you were about to stop the crawl.



Unrequited love is not everyone's task,

It requires patience and harsh tests,

Then someday someone responds,

Otherwise, it remains a pearl submerged in a pond.



The small things are which are noticed,

The chewing of nails or mindless scribbling,

The little things first give birth to feelings,

Then the pull comes on an invisible string.



The looking at them when they are occupied,

Pretending to be involved to stop them for a while,

Writing and rewriting messages and letters,

Only to make them feel better.



Remembering birthdays and important dates,

Wising to be the first one by fate,

Confessing truths and secrets veiled,

Without uttering out the truth, they say it all.



Ears to listen and shoulder to cry,

Unrequited love is always hopeful and tries,

To seep into their lives and love,

Just like water, embraces even the crooks of the vessels.



Incomplete yet complete in their own way,

It can make the hardest of the heart to sway.



- Raj Nandani



Written it a few months back.

And No, I am not in love, it's just my words.
