Sonnet 01
Were we unknown, or were we insane,—
That madly we both contracted this pain;
You couldn't keep me off that you know:
Happiness in the sea of heart would flow.
Gate of my heart was locked and secured,
No harm inside, and no need to be cured;
Maybe I invited you to make me fall apart,
Or did you ever intend to stay in my heart;
No love in heart, and no thoughts in mind,
Suddenly, we fell for like the stormy wind;
Whatever we did then, cannot be undone,
And the path we have taken has no return;
Will separation give us more than we had,
Feelings are complicated — happy and sad.
