Love Poem: Destiny

Destiny

Destiny.

Remember our first kiss when you held me tight,
I told you you were my kind of woman,
and you told me I'm your knight.

That same night we made love like true lovers,
then you fell asleep, I felt complete.

When you had to leave, at first I felt at ease,
Pretending it was the right thing to do for two people
born to be in love not meant to be together.

I was in two minds: to run after you or to let you go,
For I don't want you to hurt, this is unfair.

I wrote to you many times, but you didn't reply?

I tore down all your pictures in order to hide my crime,
but I couldn’t wipe your memories of my mind.

I think of you all the time, those great memories 
hurt my aching heart.

Then again....

I should be just thankful for the good times we shared
May be it was our destiny to meet, and then to break.
