We Came A Long Way.

From the first glance to only noticing you at this moment, 
We came a long way.
From keeping distance to ensuring that there is no distance, 
We came a long way.
From lowering your eyes on my sight till not seeing anyone except me, 
You came a long way.
From asking did you eat, to savouring your taste buds with my cooking skills, 
I came a long way.
From diplomatically trying to take sides and be politically correct, to fiercely being protective of each other, 
We came a long way.
From slighting touching hands accidentally to holding hands tightly, 
We came a long way.
From wishing to smooch till claiming each other’s lips possessively, 
We came a long way.
From desiring and wishing to stubbornly demanding, 
You came a long way.
From not being aware of your existence to miss you at the slightest instance, 
I came a long way.
From closing ourselves behind the garbs of traditions to fulfilling what the heart truly desires, 
We came a long way.
From lusting about each other to extensively caring for each other,
We came a long way.
