A long poem

A long poem that summarizes the life I lead


A long path of life,
I thought I'd traverse alone.
One fine day, I saw you,
my heart started racing.
I preserved you in my heart and as time passed by,
I realised that I'm in love with you.


At every phase of life,
I realised your presence.
Though not physically,
I shared everything with you.
During moments of distress,
you just smiled and I used to forget everything.


I wanted to say "I love you",
but was afraid, that you'd deny me.
I concealed my love,
thought I'd convey when I become worthy enough.
I waited for some time,
poured my heart out and wrote to you.
unfortunately and unknowingly,
you thrashed my compilations.


I waited and waited,
and finally decided to propose to you.
I heard from unauthentic sources,
mislearnt your feelings for me.
Suddenly life was all gloomy,
felt as if everything was snatched away from me.


It was like a winter,
such a pale white snow, trees all worn
My heart was in anguish,
but I tried to conceal to this world, my lonliness and pain.
At that time, you answered a faint wish,
good grief, You heard a far away cry of this broken heart.


It must have been meant to be,
because at that time, everything in my world looked fresh.
Winter became spring, hopes turned high
Above all the colorful flowers was the bright blue sky
Green sprouting trees, Loud and upbeat melodies.
all the gloomy days,
somehow seemed to fade away
You changed my life,
and the way I looked at it.


And then I thought,
this long journey, we could walk together.
You talked to me, I felt very happy,
I started dreaming about you again.
But, you told me that it was too late,
and you found your man!


I was left with tears in my eyes,
But I had to control it, before it created the 6th ocean!
I realised that all those pleasures were ephemeral,
I was thrown into that valley of lonliness again.
I'm a big failure with a broken heart,
Life's never going to get better!


In the due course, I realised some facts.
True happiness cannot be felt,
without being love with someone for a long time.
And true pain cannot be felt,
without losing someone we are in love with.
Being fortunate or unfortunate, I could feel both of them!

Somehow, deep in my heart,
I still have this feeling,
Mine is a deep love and Im very sincere,
One day you'll be mine,
and you'll be happy forever.

Sounds a little foolish,
and too selfish on my part,
to be true, I still love you,
thinking about you
and the change you brought in my life!

Oh my beautiful angel,
I love forever and ever!
