Inadvertently

We fall in love

It just happens

How do we rise

Out of love,

Deliberately,

You must have made

A conscious effort,

But   why,

You’ve succeeded

But how,

For me

It’s an uphill task,

Sans any grouse,

I simply ask,

How you achieved

Such feat,

From the path

Of love

I’m just   not

Able to retreat
