Paper love

When you know its ending
and you still keep going,
When you know it’s failing
but you still keep trying

When your heart is aching
but you cant stop loving,
Paper love keeps ripping
but you don’t quit stitching,

Know you’re doomed
know you’re lost
know you’re at the edge
and just need a nudge

You can give in or you can turn back
You may burn ash, or pick your rucksack
And travel hard, forget whats done
Look back and smile,at each milestone

When you know its ending
and its not the perfect ending
If your hearts still beating
Know that life is still unfolding

A life ahead, with love ahead
No paper love , its instead
A perfect hug , a perfect kiss
No perfections, yet perfect bliss

I love to read. Writing is a trait I received from my parents who write in Malayalam. My dad has a series of published stories to his credit. I am just a learner, to be even a drop in the huge ocean of write-ups is a blessing.
