When I was enamored you were clueless
I was one in a sea of nameless faces
While I held my breath at every interaction
Hoping it'll be the day you make the connection
I was in love with you
To you I was see-through
Not even an option considered and discarded

I'm a fool for love but won't love a fool
So to love myself I had to cut my losses
Every wish, every thought, every dream
Where you were the centerpiece
I rounded them up, set them on fire
Till the winds came and scattered the ashes
Faithfully ignorant you remained

Years along evolution's journey our paths collide
You finally see me and not through me
You reach out to create a connection
A little late ! A little too late!
I have evolved into someone who doesn't find you enchanting
Life is a shaken bottle where
The constructs of desire and destiny seldom align
