Twice old

I’m guarded too. I don’t open up my inner world so easily. I don’t like being vulnerable. But then love steps in. And the you that you know is but an illusion, an assumed and learnt ego. There are fewer walls and gates to you. They’re all broken down and shattered to pieces.

Pieces of you. Pieces of the you that you cultivated in your mind- to the world.

But love finds you and you become his open book. Your entire being is not just a house for your soul but an extension of hers. You become a higher you, a better you.

But love is not just the blooming of flowers and the smile on his face. It’s also the dried tears on her cheek and the lifelessness in her eyes. It’s building up those walls again for them to be broken down in pieces , to pieces of you.

Of you. A lower you, a not so nice you, a bitter you, a hard to swallow, you. And sometimes you are tired of rebuilding that wall because your fingers bleed with labor and your breathing stops and starts and you’re not tall enough to put the pieces back together.

But love steps in. You unlearn the you that you know to learn again… And again.
