Falling in Love Again

A fine autumn evening in a roadside diner

The tranquility of his face, surreally familiar

An ethereal pull, stirring the cords of my heart

Figments of the universe transpiring part by part

Dying embers in the fireplace of my soul

Rekindled, blazed, and left me feeling whole

But, what is this void, that lingers like my shadow

Old friend, Anxiety rebuffed to graciously go

My knight is here and is so is the fairytale

Why then are my eyes still so very pale

Boundless joy culminating to sting

A brutal winter, always followed by spring

I looked for blemishes, everywhere around

But with him by my side, I felt safe and sound

What is this frailty and where does it lie

Something is amiss, no matter how much I try

I looked everywhere, then reached the terminus

Exhausted, I sat, giving full way to the ruckus

A voice came to me, sounding just and fair

“What’s missing within cannot be found out there”

Dawned upon me, a bittersweet realization

The air in the diner smelled of revelation

I held his warm hand, feeling home at once

Manifold facets of love, taking me to a trance

I have fallen in love again and fallen rightly so

For now, I know, my cup should overflow

Futile it is to believe after all,

That anyone but you can make you feel whole
