Journey of an "Unrequited Love" to becoming "Requited"

I never Tasted Love


With flavors of mindblowing Miracles


Until you entered my life


And


We experienced Synchronicities untold!


It simply felt like


Once-in-a-lifetime kinda Love


Until it started falling apart


Due to doubts, fears n suspicion


About the divine miracles


Insinuated in you by those who were close to your heart!


Although, I fought and condemned


All of them who went against Us


Friends, family, loved ones, well wishers all...


Who questioned me


Choosing You


Over a proposal


That walked up to me


On it's own


For tying a knot


With someone


Loaded with diamonds and gold


They tried and tried


To convince me


That Girls and Women


Die for and penance hard


For such once-in-a-lifetime proposal


That brings a lifetime of  unimaginable luxuries and comfort


From a man who wants


to declare to the World


That you are only his own


I turned a blind eye to all


Ignored the many chatters in my Head


Listened only to my Heart


To keep the sanctity of  "Us" safe and pure


Against All Odds! 


They scorned me and asked


Whats it is so special about You


I then became 'still'


& replied


"I have never experienced


The unbelievable Divine miracles


Experienced only when I am with this soul!"


They said, this  is too good to be trusted  for long!


And stood their grounds firm


That I was surely  missing out something


And my facts were surely somewhere Wrong


They counselled me


Day-in Day-out and manifolds


They tried convincing me


That denying a wedding proposal 


With someone willing to offer you a lifetime vow


To provide you a larger-than-life dream home


For the one who doesn't even bother 


And shy away to call you his own...


Will be nothing more, but a foolish self sabotage


Done by your ownself, to the could-be beautiful life


And future security of your own


You may or may not realise this someday


But if and when you do,


It will be too late, when the opportunity is gone!


And so You!


My dear supposedly once-in-a-lifetime kinda love


Yes, You proved them to be correct, in a way!


Coz YES I did Loose A Lot!


Although material loss aint a Loss for me


Coz thats never the centre of my Life as oppose to yours!


However  that which I lost, was indeed invaluable


T'was My self-confidence, my pride, my self-respect


And above all, my faith in myself and the world!


But the most precious of all that I lost


Was my Dearest loving caring Father,  


With whom distances had grown


For Reason of choosing "US"


Despite the clear warnings and hints


About you that He had shown!


And sadly, I never knew 


I had only a very little time left


To spend with him


Before he was long gone


From this 3D world!


Apart from all these losses,


I faced foremore storms unknown


That kept arising one after the other ...


As a huge price to pay for choosing "You"


Over the love, care and caution of Loved ones,


Finally, Losing their warmth, care & the wisdom of the advising wellwishers !


Just everytime a storm would arise


I would remember the cruel words from you


"Don't worry, God is with you!"


Spoken at a time when you left me all alone!


Ah! How I wish! Only if I had known...


What I am taking a stand for


Was nothing but an illusion -


Only an Oasis of Love!


...While I was broken, I so damn hated myself


For giving chances to "US" over and over again


For choosing to believe in Divine Miracles


Instead of the many Red Flags thrown!


I could Never fathom in my wildest dreams ever


What I were to face for my decision


To choose A Muse of a Once-in-a-lifetime kinda Love!


I still feel the piercing pain


Of How My Heart and My eyes


Saw The One who entered life


Like a fresh breeze  with Promises to stay forever,


Alas! Betrayed me and Left  me  all alone


For greener pastures of a glammy doll


In the middle of raging storms!


The pain and agony was beyond words


But this drama finally led me


Onto a new journey


For my Quest


Of finding The answers


To the unbearable Pain Of


"Why me God?" -


"What have I done to deserve this?" -


"I only LOVED with All of myself!!!!"


A Quest to Find Reasons for Failures


And to Find the Truth about everything


I was made to Taste & experience


From beginning to end in that Love


A Quest to find Reasons


Why all the beauty & innocence


That ever existed between us


Turned into Ashes of nothingness


And only painful memories and trauma


Was left behind with me alone?


T'was the desperation for liberation


From the Utmost excruciating Pain


And the burning desire for salvation


That pushed me to go beyond my horizons


And in the process simply Flow & Evolve


To the unapologetic Epiphanies


About Why and Where was "I" all throughout going wrong...


It was revealed to me


In the most amazing ways


About How the Flawed illusions and delusions


Of  myself  and  of the world


Created unhealthy patterns in me


Lacking Self-care & Self-love


And caused all the miseries in life unfold


And thus it ushered in


The realization of A New "Me" !


That arose from the ashes like a Phoenix


And from that point onwards


Walking on the path of self-love,


The Divine Sphynx in me was re-born!


My humble gratitude to You


For pushing me to this wake-up call


For walking me through this journey


Filled with Divine miracles


That doomed the "I"


And bloomed my "Inner Eye"


Once it was over and gone!


And That very journey


Led me on the path of awakening


To the Truth of my


Innermost and Higher Soul!


Looking back  now... I realise that


While initially T'was only You and I


In  the  earlier  part  of  the  journey


It appeared to me as "Unrequited Love"


However,


With the grace of Almighty God


And stepping in of my Higher Soul


In the later  part  of  the  journey of Healing


To mend the broken Me, without You


I was lovingly reunited 


With my True Self, lo and behold!


And This!!!


Is, what I was made to


Realise, Feel, See and Be very grateful for


As  "True Self Love" requited to me


From the Divine Realm 


That was meant to awaken my Soul !
