A Romantic Movie Poem by Chitra Bisht

They say you don't remember me
Why should I pay attention to ye?
Same voices discouraged me
At the beginning of our love story

It was love at first sight
You too, were smitten, though slight

'I could be anyone you want' I said
'You're good', said you, taking it as a jest

It was pure passion and youthful love
We fought, then made up

Only to fight again
Bit of crazy, totally insane

And then you left, far far away
I wrote you letters for 365 days

Hoping against hope, to see you one day
Built your dreamhouse with porch and chimney

The house brought you back,
But you were no longer sure of us
Gradually things unwinded
Love blossomed again, God bless

We had a fulfilling life, it was divine
Till dementia slowly crept in your mind

They say you don't remember me
They still don't know, still can't see

I read the story of our life
To you every single day

And witness the miracle
Of you falling in love with me again

Love is magic, love is pure
You were for me, I was for you

We had a fulfilling life, my love
Death will only make it eternal
