Would you believe me
If I say, I love you
He said timidly
Not his usual way
To say it
I looked into his eyes
Tried to be serious
But something inside me
Made me laugh a thunder
And I laughed heartily
Come on! Believe me
Pleeeezz! He said (a bit embarrassed)
Trust me! I am not the same
I have changed to the core
Can the things between us be the same
As they used to be
His words made me laugh even harder
Trust me, I believe you, I said
With a wet smile on my face
Coz I have experienced change
Even I am not the same
I fear that things between us will be the same
I cant be back to square one
This poem captures the nuances of problematic personal relationships in a contemporary and accessible style.
Emotions are nicely crafted but some afar from poetic ambit. But need not to think it happens with me also.
