Ataraxia- The tale of calmness and serenity

My life was pretty normal,

When I was more sophisticated and formal.

I used to enjoy my solitude,

People misunderstanding it for my attitude.

Typical introvert, not caring about the world,

Until you entered my life and it swirled.

It was a normal day,

And I was passing my time away,

When my doorbell rung,

Just like life giving me a wake up call,

I opened the door and my heart swung.

There I saw him for the first time, "'OH my God" is what my heart had chime.

I didn't believe in it but he was my "love at first sight, "

An exaggerated phrase that felt so right.

With him I felt some old connection,

The way he treated me with affection.

I lost my heart to him,

A feeling that I denied but was true to the brim.

We talked for hours,

And couldn't feel the time,

Which passed away so fast.

Our end talks which I wanted forever to last.

He listened to my complaining,

The person was him who understood me without explaining.

The way he talked about what he loved,

I wish to be one of his beloved.

In his smile, I saw something more beautiful than the stars,

When he cried, I felt like trapped behind bars.

My inner self started to believe he was made for me,

But that was not how it was going to be.

One month passed in a fraction of a second,

His departure was faster than I reckoned.

I waved him the final goodbye,

His flight took off in the sky high.

He went away taking a piece of heart,

Destiny is what kept us apart.

My mind told me to not think about him,

He was never going to return I knew, but he was my glim.

But still, my heart thought about him every night,

Before I would sleep my heart and mind would fight.

I knew him coming back was an illusion,

Inside me was a rage of emotion.

But finally, I came to a conclusion,

Of not thinking about him anymore,

I loved him to the core,

But now I gave a chance for my dream to rise and soar

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Years passed by,

We both grew up,

Different cities and busy in our world.

And just when I thought life would be the same,

Once again it changed its game.

It was my sister's marriage,

I danced and sang to the beat,

Suddenly in the crowd, I saw a familiar face,

It was him and my heart started to race.

I stood stunned and my hands got numb.

My ears couldn't even hear the beating of the drum.

He took my hand and said hi,

All the feelings inside me rushed and my eyes could no longer lie.

Tears dropped off my face like rain,

I could no longer remain sane.

He held me and asked me if I was fine,

My soul started to smile and shine.

Wiping my tears I hugged him tight,

For after years we had reunited.

We talked again for hours.

This time I promised myself not a fall for him again.

There was nothing I could attain.

But this time the story turned out in a different way,

It was a bright sunny day,

When he took my hand and said will you be my forever?!! He sat on one knee and proposed with a ring,

My soul started to sing.

I kissed him and said yes.

Confessed my feelings and told him

No better way in which God could bless.

He smiled and we stared at each other.

There we stood though different yet imperfectly perfect together.

I was with you,

My fairytale come true.💜
