I do not need seclusion,
To think of you any time
Even in most clamorous crowd
You are there in my mind
Our first tryst was by chance,
You have, promptly made an advance
You were looking like winsome Adonis
And I went into a trance
You had many charming traits, where
No one, any fault , could trace,
I had a blind faith in you
But you lied with a poker face
Now, as I sit brooding pensively
Under my fragrant mango tree
Love has gone out of my life
Still, I am not, yet, totally free
When we fall, we do get hurt,
Even if it’s love, we fall in
I feel you around me like the air
I breathe and take you all in

A nice poem on love!
Bedrock of love is trust and genuineness!
Pretension on the other hand is the destroyer of peace in the person cheated!
In spite of it, one who is serious about that love, though lost, will continue to cherish it long, it being the first and strongest like the hard rock incapable of being thrown out of the mind!
