The last touch

I  didn't wish to fall in love with you

But ultimately I did

I tried to live without you

But my heart

Still bleeds

Cluttered were my thoughts

A kind of commitment phobic

I touched you

Without touching you soulfully

Never did I realise

The intensity of your love

Till you handed me your wedding card

Confounded were emotions

I stood dazed

Looking through you

Wordlessly, I held your hands

Yes that was the last touch

When I connected soulfully

I didn't shed a tear

But moist was my soul

I knew I had lost

Not just you 

But myself

With you
