The Door

The door was closed

Yet, I nudged it few inches

Without knowing where it will lead to

I walked in calmly

Apprehending turbulent it will be

You were courteous to my entry

Yet you evaded my curiosity

Days graduated to months

I slowly but steadily unravelled your enigmatic sensuality

You weren't so difficult after all

The more I came closer you

Love became my defining fervor

You deny

Still I have pursued endlessly

I know

I already sense

You are in love with me

Even if you don't convey

Your reassuring presence

Speaks volumes

I have been waiting for years

Never assumed you will pervade my gnawing voidness

Now that you have opened the door for me

I will preserve you

As my rarest treasure

For now, not forever

For our present

Will illustrate our future.
