Once upon a time not long ago,
we were in love or at least we thought so.
Our story did not start with hatred,
it was simply friendship at its best.
Friends we were then, friends we are now,
or we just console ourselves by saying so.
In between somehow love crossed our paths,
and the feeling of first love arose in our hearts.
Our love wasn't ever biased or partial,
it never had any place for betrayal.
Not was anybody ignored by us,
but we could not control what others thought.
We were sure that our love would last forever,
but alas! every story has to have a conclusion.
It was a sad ending, everyone said,
distance, impatience and I were to blame.
Still we continued to fight and talk,
the break up never seemed the way it should have been though.
Awkward silence always filled the space,
Yet we continued to try and share.
Our ending always seemed incomplete,
I thought, a last meeting is all that we need.
Misunderstandings played a great role,
But somehow we still had to go on.
Hopes were alive even when one of the hearts said it moved on,
because the other heart was still in love.
Guilt and hurt always occupied it,
no matter, if the other said he was out of it.
My heart was supposed tp be shattered,
when entered the third heart.
That moment was completely blank,
when it should have been all emotional.
It wasn't hard to believe or accept,
that you found someone again to take care.
In a way, it was a moment of relief,
for your heart already suffered a lot because of me.
Now that you have been blessed with a new beginning,
the incomplete end now has to seem complete.
Meeting does not have to play any role any more,
probably it is time for me to move on.
No one ever said it would be easy,
for there's still awkwardness in pronouncing our names separately.
Our story would always be cherished,
for it probably ended with indirect mutual understanding.
My heart many a times whispers, "May be it's not the end."
Believing so would further give me pain.
So I just smile knowing ,
"Now you're just a habit which would someday fade."
(-: HOPEFULLY :-)
