When Heart Prevails

Your eyes tugged my heart so tight,

Like drumbeats echoing in all it’s might.

Your silent gaze, so sharp and deep,

Would unsettle my mind even in sleep

My lips went mute, my words set still,

My eyes were locked against my will.

Your cool appeal, your subtle grace,

Left me captive in your space.

From friends we knew came warnings to part,

Their voices murmured, "You’re worlds apart."

A force so meek yet stance so high,

Made me waver and step aside.

I promised to keep my distance true,

And shield my heart from falling too.

Yet fate had plans beyond my sight,

The moment you spoke, I lost the fight.

Raised within walls, loving but traditional,

My heart obeyed, no dreams felt rational.

I laughed at those who set the bars,

For love knew nothing of birth or stars.

We parted ways to chase our skies,

Not knowing where our fate would rise.

And absence, as the wise men say,

Made fonder hearts that paved our way.

From friendship bloomed a love so rare,

A bond so strong, beyond compare.

And thus, two souls, once distant and unsure,

Were bound by love, steadfast and pure.

Through days of joy and nights of rain,

Through years of laughter, love, and pain,

Each milestone passed, our bond held true,

A love once young, now wise and new.
