NEVER ENOUGH… IS IT?
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!
