Not outright love

A Poem by Neha agrawal

' it's a poem about love that couldn't complete '

We met as classmate
But never dare to talked
As our story grew
We crossed many times each other's path
Once I asked for notes from you
You gave them without a hue
But when I return them, you smiled
At same place I joined other teacher's class
You followed me there
But had no courage to fall
You started following me everywhere I go
You started talking to my friends and
Making excuses to stalk
We studied together but not had a chance to sit
With each other
Yet somehow you managed to come after
And we got a chance to sit closer
Whenever you got a chance to take a glimpse
Of me you never missed it at all
But still had no courage to start
We again got a chance to dance
We didn't dare to move at all
You sang a song with your guitar
Everyone cheered you up
I also loved the song
You started to follow your heart
Wrote a love letter to me
I read it and thought
Who could write this letter to me?
So i crumble the letter and throw
You didn't come after that
I made a mistake it shows
I wish you would have come after
Then we could have talked
So our not outright love would not have remained not outright at all

ah! that space/moments where both feel a thing, but cant express fully, both know but dont want to talk about it, this poem is more conversational and less rhymy than your other ones, which makes it feel more natural to me(cos I do the same ), the imperfect syntax usage makes this feel more realistic and honest.
when we are young, we seek moments over words and as we mature, we realise words also are equally important. Most of the regrests are because we couldnt act in at the right time , its never about whether something was wrong or right

although, this poem seems more rough and unpolished than the others, the thematic view overwhelms that and I liked it

thank you for sharing it
