Half a Heart

O that beautiful day as a teen!
Our eyes met while the hearts danced lightly,
Like primrose blooms shying from the winds. 
We grew a little older, our eyes shot meteors
Which got embedded in the others's heart.
So knotted did the hearts get that they
Couldn't free from the love entanglement.
I pulled it to go back with me,
But your heart ripped mine and took 
Half of it along with you,
To remain with you
In your modest home of love,
Under the shadow of your protection.
We exchanged our marriage rings
And vowed silently of our life ahead.
The years passed and babies took up our hours.
Together we nurtured them for years,
In our modest home of love to remain
In the shadow of our protection.
I gave half my heart to you 
The other half I gave to my girls 
Now my complete heart is with you 
And our grown up babies. 
I give it all so happily,
Never to ever want it back.
