I never thought . . .

I never thought . . .

I never thought,

That out of the million ‘No’,

I found one ‘Yes’,

In a world of come and go.

Universe neither told me,

Nor made me think twice.

That he was there all along,

I’m not even surprised.

He never said hi,

Not even a hello.

But somehow made my heart

Give a thousand call.

My mind is talking loudly

But my heart stopped a shout.

And yet it’s beating wildly,

I don’t know what’s it about.

Until one silent moment

When universe awakened me.

Then all of a sudden,

My heart was filled with glee.

I never even thought

What I thought was not true.

But all it had brought

Was the thought of me and you.

That I even stop and stare,

Is it possible?

For me to give a dare

And say yes to his call.

I never felt wrong,

Not even a second guess.

How come it’s true all along.

But do I have to confess?

Thinking of it,

Somehow it was hard.

But I never thought I did

‘Cause ‘brave’ is my only card.

It was still the same thing

I once did before.

But what made the difference,

Is the one thing he assured.

Why he felt the same

The moment I wonder.

And how we both came

To where we found each other.

When we are once afraid

Of another “give it all”.

But then worries faded,

The moment he stood tall.

I felt so grateful,

Realizing what we’ve been through.

Despite all the odds

What’s important is you.

This is the first time

I took off my armor.

And will be the last time

I will face the shore.

Getting through the waves

I once tried to neglect.

And let it carry me

From the ones I protected.

Where my heart get scratches,

Catching it piece by piece.

Healing all the stitches,

And yet my heart is pleased.

All the “why nots” I have before

Was answered little by little.

I can no longer ask for more,

Only you until forever.

And I’m glad I did,

Taking all the risks.

Facing the twists and turns

I don’t want to miss.

So, it will always be a ‘Yes’

From all their million ‘No’.

And having you inside my heart,

Is all that I’ve ever known.
