Wandering Forest

Shahla Latifi


His love for me was an obscure secret, a mystery that dwelt deep within, undefined and misunderstood. 
It resembled a dream that clashes with reality— a dream that blooms through a wandering forest, grows into a tree, changes its leaves, and eventually withers away.

His hope for me was rooted in a false idea of love. 
The love that lacked water, air, and the sincere honesty found deep within a garden.

Occasionally, amidst my thoughts and fantasies, standing between belief and dream, I realise another truth—that I did not truly believe in his love.

    Feigned love is sometimes used as an excuse for the enactment of passion. Nicely written
