So Near, Yet So Far Poem by Ravi Singh

I’m an open and transparent soul,
She is like a black hole

I’m too eager to share my joys,
She too indulges and shows she enjoys

I like to share my sorrows,
She tends to listen and seems to be morose

I told her all my flaws,
She keeps her secret tucked under her claws

I’m a harmless but compulsive flirt,
She always keeps me on the alert

I like to make our conversation cheerful,
She is always guarded and careful

Still, I always wish to be with her,
She seems to be aloof from my sphere

When I try to feign being away from her thoughts,
She teases me with her endearing plots

I told her, how I look and from where I came,
And till today, I don’t even know her name

So strange is our relationship,
More than acquaintance, hardly a friendship

I live on one eternal hope,
To climb up to her heart she will hand me down a rope
