As Friend-Not Forever Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

As friend-Not lover
Sunday,25th April 2021

We were young
and dynamic to sing a song
we were committed to going never wrong
and stay happy among

he will adore me
by appealing more
coming very much near
and almost removed the hidden ears

we were under blue sky
and made an earnest try
to remain one and united
our passion for love was ignited

we thought and carried on
with love to be shown
openly and defiantly
and appreciated gently

there sudden cloud burst
stalling our love thirst
he insisted on remaining friends
forever and till an end

maybe he was right
and didn't want to fight
to preserve the love in the soul
and call it eternal

I had nothing special
but liked him as a good individual
it would have been better
if had entered as a companion and not a lover
