Ego

Who says love has no rules?

Have you checked those online tips?

Who calls first, who makes the first move?

Everything is in an equation of relationships.

But have you ever noticed it, 

How all the rules you make in love, 

Stands against Love itself?

How Ego often comes in between 

In the disguise of self-respect?

Why do you keep things inside you? 

Instead of telling them everything?

Why do you assume their moves? 

As meaningful mistakes made carefully?

Who said love is blind?

The Ego is perhaps blinder.

It never lets you utter an apology.

It never lets you make a first move.

Who said love doesn't work?

Ego is its path of hindrance.

It makes you plot your words carefully, 

Analyse what's real and what's in an act; 

Ego makes you believe in plans and tricks.

But guess what?

There is something Ego doesn't know. 

That Love can never be planned.
