A faceless guy suffered from inferiority complex How hopelessly longed for a love Like many other youth I also thought I want to love ... someone so intimate ... someone I can reveal ... someone I caress ... someone I would like to join hands with me for all part of my life When I said you could be that someone You outrightly rejected me I accepted as I felt I don't deserve Reluctant heart beats for you Distressedly ignored continuously by you Tried my hand in painting - And the red-rose looked pale I wrote "The Euphoria didn't last for long..." Millions of faces gave me the consolence... One face can forget others... The philosophical writings liked by the second Told me "She loves me" I thought I was so lucky I felt great and achieved as I'd never been before ... in love with a girl Jumped in the air with joy Bumped the hand with success Darkened tree lined both sides of avenue The flowers that lost its fragrance started falling one by one Snow started falling and occasional breeze pierced the ears and chilled the chin Held my dear's hand in tight - walking slowly without a speech Dew formed on the edges of grasses As I neared her still, sweat dripped and the dew got warmed up But the innocent chap got into the hands of playful tomboy who took me for a ride I was shaken by the STORM and cast into deep sorrow Sitting on the lakeside I was looking at the reflection of the Moon on the still water Thrown a pebble on the water, the Moon got disturbed Came to sense - I remember I'd a smiling face then Years passed and time cured but the scar remains With blunt approach asked many a girl ... One at railway station seeing her for years ... One at work, who was an easy prey Rejections and rejections... Not learnt anything from mistakes Where my character was assassinated But decided to take a professional approach Started to play the same innocent game Nature has some surprise in store for me and sent her to shower some love on me Still I'd a fear I would lose Hold myself back from saying anything Because there is nothing to lose because already I am a defeatist Nothing to gain because I'm not sincere Just to keep her guessing, a game I enjoyed myself And when she said "She is interested in me" I laughed of and said "If I'm going to love you truely now, Then what's my past...? If I'd been genuine then why I didn't get, If I was not, then I don't want to repeat the same mistake once again" Tears rolled down on her cheek and she said "You're denied your love" Harmed by me she said "Stranger!, I cann't forget" Days taught me I was wrong Repeated thoughts said I hurt her and asked for a pardon Restored my smile and I was in blissful thoughts of union with her With reproachment I decided to write her "Disclose your heart, I am ever for your love" Unknowingly I'm once again in loveBirth sign: Not entered
