A Clichéd Love Song

Life’s antics are a thing to muse,
Its eeriness mutes the skeptic’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……
