Pensive.

It all started on Saturday,
After a conversation with
The first girl I ever loved in my life;
The girl who made me realise the difference,
Between the terms crush and love;
The girl who taught me to give;
The girl who made me understand,
That while unrequitted love is a great agony,
The ability to make the one you love smile,
Can make all the pain go away;
The girl who made me accept the fact,
That once things change,
There is no going back to the past.

This is also the girl,
Who has now become a lady,
To whom I told,
That although what is over is over,
I will still always love her,
In some way or another.
And to which she said,
She can't reciprocate,
Because she 'is not like that',
But we're cool as friends.
That's nice.

But, ...
Although I wasn't expecting reciprocation,
That bit in the inverted commas still pricked.
Like that ?
Like this ... ?

It is time to start reminding myself,
To stop noticing those special people.
Falling is extremely dangerous,
When there is no one there to catch you.
And even if I don't expect them to catch ,
They can still hurt one,
In some way or another.
