My Bar Of Chocolate


I never understood why. Why is it that I fell in love with you? Beautiful as it is, it is in stark contrast to the cruelty of destiny. For, as much as I wish to and as much as I want to, I can never ever have you. You remind me of an incident in my childhood. 
Once when I was a little girl, I was walking past a confectionery store and saw this lovely chocolate bar. I wanted to have it. Checked my pocket. Didn't have enough money. Thought of getting it from home and remembered I wasn't allowed chocolate because a visit to the dentist was due. I couldn't have the chocolate, but that didn't mean I didn't want the chocolate. I stared at it till my brother came looking for me and took me home. 
You are that bar of chocolate that I so badly want and know that I can never have. I watch you and adore you from afar, regardless ... Till someone comes and takes me away from you. Takes me home.
