That evening

That evening petrified me
It scared me to my core.
I can still see that man outside your car
Holding up his cell phone.

It was neither your fault nor mine
But the dent in my mind.
I know,
it will take time.

We were so weak,so vulnerable at that point
That privacy invasion,
Brought tears to my eyes.
You rushed to make things alright,
You ran the car, uncaring of your undressed state.

You tried your best to re-assure me
But what can I do, the damage is done.
Please give me time to sort this out
I dont wanna abstain, but that memory
It plagues me a lot.

I wanna hug and kiss you
I wanna go down
But above that,
all I want
is for you to stay.

You are not to blame.
But try to understand,
This incident shook me
And the sanctity threatened.

I feel seen
I feel exposed
I just want to erase it all.

Things will go back to their passionate self
I know that for sure
But please don't take this on yourself
My baby, I love you the most.
