On Love

Love
Is a heart who just lost its half
Staring at the twilight
With nostalgic songs
playing in the background of the cafe
While her eyes holding the tears
Hidden in a pretty smile
Longing terribly inside

Love
Is a ringing phone
From a worried wife
To her taxi driver husband
Working all night long every day
With almost no chance
To grab something
To eat nor to drink

Love
Is a lonely soul
Despite not being alone
Feeling lost in the crowd
Mind keeps waiting and guessing
‘When would that soulmate came?’
