Analysis of F and B



Yes, I am your destiny
One has to travel
Towards its destiny
Not the destiny,
Comes to its seeker
If you First as F for Follow
And Second as B for Brilliant
With such abbreviation
In this sense of all the senses
You are You, into that
I love You truly
It depends upon You
That You trust me or not
Love lands upon the heart
Without a warning
You may have realized
As I did that
Indeed, I still wait for
It is now up to You
Regard and complete it
Or close all the doors silently
It will also be a story
However, unwritten,
Anonymous and without a title.
