The Demeanour

Everything was going to fade away, When you collapsed on the last day. Everything was going to fall apart, Nothing could hold you on the surface! Everything reminded me of you – The way you presented yourself to me, The way you showed the courtesies, The most glorious story I have ever read is you! Every tiny finger was worshipped by me, Every curve was felt intensely, Every scar was celebrated with sacred passion, Everything would be nothing if it were not yours. Any dull caricature reminds me of your sweetest face, The intonation of your voice still haunts me to the grave, Your cutest tiptoes still seek me till the 5 o'clock sun, The entire you is the perfect smile of a godlike creature to me! The way I have seen you, The way you were worshipped, The demeanour to which I have never felt bored, The alcove of my heart always welcomes you!
