Don’t say it was love anyway!

a poem by Vishal Khandelwal

Unless your heart breaks, screams and weeps,
All your earthly desires die down, except one,
And the soul doesn’t stop for hunger and sleep.
Don’t say it was love anyway!!

Unless you’ve asked yourself-
“Is this the only one made for me?
What do I do with this useless world?
Better die together, if not break free!!”
Don’t say it was love anyway!!

Unless in your body temple, there’s only one God left for you,
And people have started talking ’bout your religion,
But for you, nobody is audible save your beau.
Don’t say it was love anyway!!

And until one day, you’ve wanted to remove all thoughts, all things of her,
But instead they got closer to you, and still closer,
And you’ve decided to accept hell,
But with a hair-pin to remember,
Don’t say it was love anyway!!

And unless you’ve realised, you’ve experienced a thing, which can never be
faded by tense,
And you’d like to be born with it for the next six births,
And that your love for love was greater than your love for anything else.
Don’t say it was love anyway!!
LOVE COULD NEVER HAPPEN THAT WAY…
