The Cliched Love Song.....

Life’s antics are a thing to muse,

Its eeriness mutes the sceptic’s views;

I ain’t a monk to preach such words,

I embrace these truths as I look backwards……..

The day when my path crossed with yours,

As a stranger you knocked on my doors.

The casual talks marked the onset,

As our aimless talks stretched till sunset.

From stranger to a friend you grew.

You wrote a chapter in my life anew.

Through thick and thins, you stood by me,

In happy times, we shared our glee.

Your absence made me nostalgic.

A mere rendezvous acted like magic.

Why am I acting oblivious?

When my love for you is but obvious!

You talk about guys, who fell for you,

And say that I’m a friend so true.

Can I ever admit my love for you?

When a mistake can spell a friend’s adieu?

If only my heart was numb!

And my every tear was a gem!

If only you gave me a chance,

I assure we’ll have the best romance…

I can take this pain no more,

Its time I end this tragic lore.

My mind goes fickle when I see your face,

‘It’s now or never’, my heart says.

With fear, I stammer the secret I kept,

Your lips curl into a smile, unlike I fret….

‘I love you, idiot!’ you say; defying my sense!

And you joke whether it’s a coincidence!

Then we laugh how we knew it all along,

Seems fate gave music to my love song.

Life contradicts the pessimist in me,

As I pen down this song happily……
