You asked me if I could help you a bit.
I said, “Why not? Just say it”.
You said that you were in something which you called love,
You wanted to confess it, but for you it was tough;
You requested for my advice,
And I felt like I was very wise.
I said, “A beautiful handwritten note and a flower will do.
But holding his hands, looking into his eyes and saying few worthy words would work too”.
You said thanks and blushed away,
I said welcome and moved on my way.
The very next day again you asked me.
You were hiding something in your heart I could see;
Repeating that same previous advice I said, “There is nothing more required”;
“But, what if I give him a gift?”, you inquired;
I just nodded, there’s nothing I wanted to say,
You started stalking me everyday.
Finally one day you drew of the curtain,
You said something which I wasn’t certain!
You said that you fell in love with me!
I thought how on earth that could be?
You said, “I love you very much!”.
But I wasn’t sure if it was really such
I didn’t say anything,
But you waited as for you the answer was everything,
I had no thoughts, I had no answers
Girl, I was completely nervous
The very next day on a big trouble did my mind land,
As to my horrible shock, I found you bandaged your hand!
My friends informed that you used a blade!
My heart and mind was furious,
I had no idea you were so serious!
But girl, one thing I was really sure
I wasn’t having that thing which you called love, but I was afraid of this truth, would you be able to endure?
I discussed with my mom and dad,
I was their friend more than their lad;
They were always good and nice,
In such complicated advice.
“Son, no need to be afraid,
Just let her know what you feel”, my dad said.
“But don’t go hard”, he was a knowledgeable man;
“Be soft and polite, be a gentleman.
Tell her the time is not right
Now, we have left to reach many height.
For now stay as a friend,
If not, there are many things which you will offend”
I met her the next day,
And said what my dad did say.
Of course she was broken,
But it was the only road left for me to be taken.
I must say that my dad was really right,
for that thing which she called love, she didn’t ever fight.
But still I can see a pleasant light,
Whenever her eyes are in my sight.
This incident happened when I was in 7th grade. I composed this poem today morning (1st April, 2016) around 9 am even before washing my face after waking up! 😀 haha… Yeah, I woke up a little late. 🙂
