PUPPY LOVE

There was once a love, pure and innocent,
And they call it "puppy love",
Only, they were wrong,
That little seed of love was tucked away in her heart somewhere,
And kept hidden, made secret for ages to come,
Never did she know, that little secret love would blossom one day.

In a very small village they're from,
Got separated for many a reason,
He was more adventurous, chased by girls, or so it seemed,
While she was timid and shy as it is her nature.
Never heard from each other ever again.

For many decades they lived separate lives,
Had some relationships from one to another,
And got settled with a partner for better or for worse,
The other was lucky, the other...not,
But life went on and on until...

Whether it by sheer fate or just mere coincidence,
Seemed like the cosmic universe had worked its wonders,
Was this a joke or a trick,
To them who were apart so long ago,
Would virtually meet in a such unusual way.

What a day to reckon, to speak about life of the past,
What would it be like "if" and "when,"
But never mind those, what mattered is the now,
For that little secret from ages ago had been revealed.

Yes, it was like magic for upon that revelation,
Unbeknownst to her, her secret was also his,
The awakening, the rejoice was overwhelming,
And so the journey to the unknown had begun,
As their love had blossomed like it was meant to be.

But in the end, it was a bittersweet,
She had to let go and let him be.
