Now… where did I go wrong?

Was it me

Or was it her?

Inspired by Howard from BBT, I composed—

Sang in front of a dozen people

Thoda Romance aur thoda Pyaar

I gave her Space,

Love… and Time

Let her rule my wardrobe,

And my life for more than a year

Still… not enough!

Where DID I go wrong?

Fought with my parents,

My friends…

To be with her.

Yet Alone I walk now…

Bought her gifts,

Traipsed from an Activa to a Honda City

A Gorilla-Loan on my head

Yet I sit alone

In Honda City and New House

Where DID I go wrong?

I remembered her Birthday

Our Anniversary… and

Her dog’s birthday too!

Enough, it was not…

Sans girlfriend…

Sans friends.

Maa shouts – “Told you so!”

“You left us for the wrong one” – friends say.

Neigh! Enough, it will never be…

Where DID I go wrong?

“I do not love you anymore”

said she…

And went out the door.

To another man’s arms.

Bleak world… no laughter

No sugar, no spice, or anything nice.

Everything I did for you,

For us…

Not enough.

Will it ever be Enough?

Does a Second Chance await me?

I walk the lonely road now…

Who was I?

Who am I now?

“Do you remember me?”

“I used to buy roses for my girlfriend everyday.”

“No.” – said the flower vendor…

Lost… to the tides of time.

Lost… to the tides of a broken heart.

I work. For whom?

I breathe. For whom?

Lost… For eternity?

I do not know,

How to smile anymore.

The world is dark,

Without you in it.

The Star has fallen…

A rudderless boat…

Will it ever reach the shore?

Maybe I am IT!

The mistake…

Was I trying too much?

“Man, you were too good for her.”

Friends murmur…

I lost. My perfectionist attitude.

It drove her away,

While striving towards perfection,

I lost my senses…

The small things always matter!

Beauty lies in Imperfection.

A victim to the Ideal.

My wounds… would you heal?

Ever?

What do you think?

The Unproposed Guy…

Will he be proposed to again?

Huffing and Puffing…

I ran after Perfection.

Not realizing…

I was spiraling down the stairs,

Fast!

People!

Forget Yourself Not,

While giving love…

While living life…

Be Imperfectly Perfect.

I see light…

I see hope…

I see her…

I see a second chance…

I hope for hope…

I walk the lonely road… do I?

P.S. Stay tuned to The Unproposed Guy. Who knows what life may offer to him next!
