My Partner in Crime

To My Partner In Crime

Not once but umpteen number of times,
Have I erred and so have you!

You made the first move, I accepted
I won the opening of the game, you well conceived !

In your deceptive eyes, I saw deception coming my way
But always gave in to your heart melting smile
How true were the words you spoke?
How incorrectly, did I perceive?

You, at one end
Me, at the other
How composed, focussed and determined are you
How confused, apprehensive and unclear am I ?
Of a game that’s begun; years ago !

I look back and wake up to this realization
That I am right there, where I had once begun
I have lived a million lives in these years
Yet it seems, I have not moved on in Life !

I ask myself, what have I got into
And where have I got myself ?
Into a game that I stand no chance of winning
Against my loyal partner in crime !

Love,
RA
