Not to me

a poem by Samuel Prem Kumar J

Deep inside my heart, there is a fire
I came to know that it has also a meaningful desire

Only after seeing it from your glance
I came to know the true meaning of romance

When I wanted to hold you by my arm
I came to know love and its charm

Only when I learnt, without you anymore, I can’t live
I came to know, only to you my life I can give

Only when I held you by your palm
I came to know the silence behind your calm

That this could never be
She said pleadingly

And that love is not meant to be
Between you and me
