Love Has Smitten Us All

---------------

One odd day they met.
He said hello.
Perhaps that's all she needed.
& She was smitten with the Love.

He was oblivious of the feeling.
Lost in his own world.
He met her.
Loved the way she looked at him.
He looked back at her.
& She was smitten with the look.

They talked.
Talked of moon and the stars.
Celestial body they were.
But she decorated her courtyard of dreams
& She was smitten with the dreams.

Their path was same.
Same destination they were to reach.
They started it together.
He hold her hand.
& She was smitten with the touch.

Love was all she needed.
Love was all she had, to give.
Love was all she deserved.
He gave her what she deserved.
& She was smitten with the generosity.

Love is what she expected.
Care is what she got.
She knew the difference
He doesn't seem to know.
& She was smitten with the ignorance.

---------------

Lost in his own world
Loved the way it has always been.
But How can somebody love him.
Why would somebody love him.
When nobody knows him anyway.
& He got scared by the ignorance.

He told her about him.
Stories that were not interesting.
Dreams that were not dreamy.
She seems to like it anyway.
& He got scared by the generosity.

He has decided the path.
She was there to accompany him.
Together they started.
They hold hands.
& He got scared by the touch.

Moon and stars, she talked about.
They weren't celestial body anymore.
His concept of things was changing.
He got scared by the dreams

Loved the way they walked together.
Love wasn't in his mind.
The way she looked at him.
Didn't know what was in his mind.
& He got scared by the look.

There she was.
The very same she.
But still different.
Different in way, he didn't know.
& He got scared by the love.

--------------

She wanted him to love her.
Knew that he cares.
He knew that he cares.
Didn't know if he loves her.
They looked at each other.
Into the eyes.
Beyond their own reflections.
& They were smitten with Love.
