take your time

when you want to know a person’s compassion

show him your scars, start with the smallest

ones and go to the deeper ones, see if he flinches

see if he ignores, smiles or gets irked..

you will get your answer, your insight, your vision

in his soul and heart, you wont need further test.

 

You want to see if he will walk with you for

the longest time? Through the ups and downs?

Pause for a while when you are walking

note if he feels that you are no longer there,

stops and searches for you, calls out your name

or doesnot even notices, fumes, or just walks ahead.

 

Small signs tell us the story but don’t hurry

take your time and test for long enough

let your heart do the judging not your mind

a thing done once is not always a nature

if we pull out a pot too quickly from the fire

it will crumble to pieces even though it had the matter.

 

Love, friendship, relations take their due time to season

so before clinging to one or throwing one away

take all the measures, take all the cautions

because a heart once pushed away is hard to be held back

a hand once disengaged is too tough to be pulled back

take your time to love and take your time to walk away.
