because
1/28/2020 in Poems
Because when one falls for a person,
he reads the story he wants to be a part of.
He sets his foot in a tale of happy ending.
He writes his way to that chapter
and makes sure the story never ends.
Because when one falls for a person,
he watches the details of the day.
He makes the uncertain clear.
If he sees little, he won’t ask more but he waits.
And when one falls for a person, he waits in joy.
But when one anticipates defeat,
he only peeks on thin spaces and walks three steps behind.
He disappears but his prints are still there.
Unfortunately his is genuine, and genuine is permanent.
He tries to look away but he fails so he learns to adore in secret.
Because when one sees light for the first time,
though he covers it with his hands he will still look for it.
