A Simple Man...

The anti hero character...
Who calls himself...
The Simple Man...
She doesn't know why...
But, she fell in love with him...
The one who doesn't seem to care at times...
Yet, cares enough to connect once again...
When he feels he hasn't bid her goodnight...
Or when he feels he's hurt her...
That's when she knows...
He cares!
A Simple Man...
He doesn't know...
How to articulate his feelings...
A man subdued by his existence...
A man held back by his experience...
Yet, a simple man...
Man enough, to care ...
To hear her nagging voice...
Together they live their ...
Separate lives in far off cities..m
Yet, together they prepare tea ...
And, watch each other ...
Miles apart...
She extolls her feelings loud and clear...
He watches her lovingly...
With deep brooding eyes...
His eyes...
They give him away...
A simple man indeed!

To be in love yet not utter the word love... #GoFigure

Sigh!
To be in love ...
Yet, not be able to say ...
I love thee ...
For fear of the big bad world out there...
To get us somehow...
You, me or anyone...
People have no other business now ...
Just look into what others do ...
Great timepass for them...
What say!
I remember...
Being enamoured by your charm...
Your voice...
Still in my head ...
In every cell of my being ...
Just like I am...
Deep-seated in the cockles of your heart...
An imaginary love...
That turned into virtual reality...
A reality none of us can deny ...
Nor own up ...
For repurcussions would be unhealthy...
So, we keep our affair...
Wrapped within us ...
Lest we hurt the ones wevlove anyways...
This love in this lifetime...
Comes with shackles ...
Shackles which neither you nor I ...
Can break!
