No reason to love. Not even love.

I always tend to misspell love as lone.

You love me coz you are tired of your loneliness.
Its worse that I know it.

I'm scared you'll stop.
That I'll be a habit you can discard as easy as you got it on.

I'm scared of the buttons you'll open
And discover a body not very lovable
And even more about how you'll pretend its ok.

Once again I make the same mistake.
I stop being myself.
And try be what you want.
And end up being what neither of us wants.

I wait for you to call me.
You never do.
And when I do
I wait for me to hang up.
And I promise myself I'll not call you.
That is
Until
You call me back
And so I break an already broken promise.

I search for you
In old mails
In past friends
In touched places
In stored SMSs
In movies.
And I find you
And everywhere.
So I never call out
As that will make both of us uncomfortable.
Found
and found.

When did you start gazing into my mind??

You should not be allowed to read my thoughts and read them out aloud to others.

Awesome!
It's a really cool "poem".
We always make the same mistakes when it comes to relationships don't we?
We always promise we won't fall again for the same trick and it catches us off-guard everytime it strikes again.
And we sucumb to breaking self-promises, that, as you said, were meant to be broken the moment we made them..

I loved your writing..

Pretty correct. Life at times gets drifted away from the pledges we take. Moving on is the right word but it's not so easy when it comes to real!
I'm turning out to be your fan now, atleast your blog's :)
