Love Poem: My Answer

My Answer

You just went away,
Without any answer, without any justification,
‘I loved you so sincerely’,
Which I admitted too, without any hesitation!

Now after many years,
When time has caused irreversible changes,
I think and am sure,
Life would have been different,
If only we had made an attempt!

Neither did you hint nor did you tell, 
And kept the feelings in the veil,
May be you were confused, or it wasn’t so important, 
But for how long could I have been patient!

Something which was totally yours,
Is now, someone else’s stake!
You call it to be destiny’s bitter revelation,
And for me, ‘loving you’ was biggest mistake!
