Day 8 - Untamed

A love that was desired by others, 

With no feeling of possession or control. 

Neither of them were obliged to be with each other, 

Drawn in by an energy that can't be described. 

She called out his name in the dark, 

Never hoping for a response. 

But when he said a calm "Hello, I missed you."

She thought her heart would explode with happiness. 

She was sure she was never understood before him, 

She had been an open book and yet was misunderstood. 

He always strung the right words together, 

Whether it was to make her cry or smile. 

"It's all a play, my dear. 

You are a part of the Leela,"

He used to tell her before she confessed 

her love for him.

Before her, everything lacked purpose

Which he was hesitant to admit. 

But he knew he was always waiting for something, 

Something or someone. 

Someone. 

His life flourished with purpose and necessity 

When she walked into his life. 

What is untamed love? 

Isn't it just humans feigning to prioritize survival 

When their souls combust at the sight 

of their loved ones. 

When the heart is tamed, love possesses a soul, 

One that can't be mistaken for merely God's play.
