Just when I assumed I was done with love
The universe conspired
To place you in my life

Love wasn't on my mind
When I started interacting with you
But emotions trickled
And I found myself in love again
With you
Knowing the arid future between us

I never imposed myself 
Or pursued you
For the feelings were only mine

You left...
And are there somewhere 
In the lush of greenery
While I have continued to survive 
With your barren thoughts
So much for love...
