Once upon a time
There was a young man
Who just got his law degree
A flamboyant young man
Who broke every rule, that a lawyer couldn't imagine transgressing
Once upon a time
There was a young woman
A quiet young woman
With an observant and witty heart
Gifted with a flair for languages and matters of the heart
One hailed from the city
The other from the countryside
One from a busy place
The other from a quiet idlelyistic place
Love however, transcends geography
It was a visit in the countryside
By the aspiring lawyer
That led to them crossing paths
Despite the first impression he gave
The animosity and prejudice didn't last long
Soon she was smitten by his intellect
He was attracted by her gift for words and her ambition
Which was abhorrent for women then
How Love sparked and crashed
As they went against all the acceptable norm
Sadly for them, their love was frown upon by society
Where it's important to marry for material good
Which guarantees a steady future
Whilst their love is purely love
Which was what love is supposed to be
Sadly for them, it didn't work out
Soon the cruel hands of societal prejudice
And fierce opposition towards their love
Dealt a cruel blow to their hearts
Though they ran away
They relented....
Apart they have to be
Time passes
He became a successful lawyer, judge and eventually a politician
She went on to become a well-loved and famous author
But deep down, that emptiness and pain lingers on....
