A LOVE THAT ALWAYS REMAINS
-
Rachna Awana (India)
An innocent girl fell in
love one day,
And kept falling for him
in every way.
She knew not loss, nor
feared the cost,
For in his smile, the
world was lost.
Each heartbeat echoed when
he was near,
Her eyes lit up, her soul
grew clear.
She felt he was her
destined part,
A name engraved upon her
heart.
Her world transformed in
his embrace,
He taught her laughter,
love, and grace.
She once knew only how to
cry,
But now her spirit learned
to fly.
The scent of her hair, her
tender care,
Spoke of a bond beyond
compare.
No words could measure how
much they shared,
Two hearts in love,
completely paired.
Together they bloomed,
emotions soared,
They felt the joy true
love affords.
No room for sorrow, grief,
or fear —
Just dreams of a forever
near.
But fate arrived with a
cruel disguise,
A trusted friend fed her
lover lies.
The distance grew without
a cause,
And silence fell with
heavy pause.
Still, she loved with all
her soul,
And in her tears, he found
his role.
He came back when the
truth was seen,
Their love again turned
evergreen.
Yet life had one more test
in line,
Their love denied by caste
and spine.
Society frowned, the
parents swore,
That love like theirs
would rise no more.
She was engaged against
her will,
Her heart grew silent, her
world stood still.
She couldn’t breathe
without his name,
So chose a path that
burned like flame.
She drank the poison in
despair,
As love cried out mid
suffocating air.
The family wept and changed
their mind,
But time, once lost, is
rarely kind.
They took her far, to hide
the truth,
Deceived her heart, misled
her youth.
A wedding planned, a cruel
betrayal,
A love reduced to mournful
tale.
She begged, she pleaded,
called her man,
With folded hands and
trembling span.
But he was gone, too
broken now,
To fight against the world
somehow.
He lost her once, and lost
her still,
A void remained no time
could fill.
Their paths diverged, they
lived apart,
But carried love within
their heart.
Though life went on with
silent pain,
One thing in both did
still remain—
Not the vows or marriage
chains,
But a love that always
remains.
