I was told that

Magic is bad,

Magic is dark,

Magic is deceptive.

I was then told that

‘Magical’ is romantic,

‘Magical’ is beautiful,

‘Magical’ is enchanting.

Magic must be

the most contradicting word

in my unpretentious dictionary.

Then I met you,

and my mind couldn’t

make out whether

the way my heart fluttered

every time your lips curved

at the very mention of my

inglorious name was

magic or magical.

–

Then I met you,

and my heart couldn’t

make out whether

the way my eyes

suffered with insomnia

whenever they weren’t

lucky enough to look

at you was

magic or magical.

–

Then I met you,

and my eyes couldn’t

make out whether

the way my soul

only needed your love

or else

it would have been as

empty as an old vase

that has been void for too long

was

magic or magical.

–

Then I met you

and you redefined

and linked

magic,

and magical,

and deceptive,

and enchanting,

and I have fallen for

your everything.

My

mind,

heart,

eyes,

soul,

could finally make out

that they are simply

yours,

all yours.

Your magic is magical.
