She has changed,
like a cocoon
turning into a butterfly,
Now everyone sees her,
the colours, the shine,
the way she catches every eye.
But I remember
when there was nothing to see,
no wings, no light,
no one stopped to look.
I stayed then.
not loudly, not proudly,
just there,
loving her in my own silent way.
Even if she has remained the same,
even if the world never noticed her,
I know,
my heart would have stayed the same,
Now she walks in light
and people follow that glow.
This is how the world is,
people gather until things shine.
But I saw her
when she was still finding herself,
still unsure and hidden from everyone.
And maybe,
that is why my love feels different,
it began with no proclamation,
before the world gave her a name.
She has changed,
her world has changed,
everything around her is new.
But one thing hasn't,
the way I still feel for her,
quiet, steady,
the same as before.
