was a relentless storm inside my mind,
a tornado that never settled,
spinning endlessly through my thoughts.
My mind swings between hope and despair,
between anticipation and frustration.
It became a battlefield
where peace was crushed beneath the weight of
“I want her love”
and
“I need her presence”.
Once, my heart was a lake,
still, quiet, untouche.,
But my love for her
fell like stone after stone into the water,
creating ripples, waves, turbulence
until the surface grew restless and chaotic.
Then I realised the cruel truth,
I had tied my happiness to her,
like building a house upon sand,
forgetting that tides of life always change,
and eventually shake every weak foundation.
My desires were tempting illusions
promising happiness from a distance
only to vanish as I approached.
They did not merely trouble my mind,
they trapped my soul inside an endless loop.
I was running on a treadmill,
with no destination,
only exhaustion.
Now, I love her as though it is my duty,
without expecting anything in return.
My desires became passing clouds,
their power fading with the wind of time.
Love still grows within my heart,
but free from expectation,
And at last,
I stopped chasing my desires.
