When I was sixteen,

I thought ,

Love would come like the fairy tales,

Riding on a horse,

With a rose

In hand

And I would grab it

Like a story forever.


But What appeared,

Was a storm,

All quiet and beautiful,

Of words and innocence 

Never felt before.

The butterflies 

Which I thought 

I would catch slowly.

But then the storm hits

At its peak 

When you least expect.

Leaving behind

A million breathing pieces

Of hearts ,

Slowly learning its 

First heart break.


Trying to iterate,

Altering the already known,

Definitions of love

That changed from a fairy tale,

To what I felt 

Before and after the storm.

A tale of hearts 

With an experience known only to me.


I believed,

This was an iteration of Love.
