How I Proposed....... Poem by NEETHA SASIDHARAN

I rehearsed, practised...
even my mirror seems confused.
Should i bent my knees n sing
or just take out the ring? ? ? ?

Hope she'll be alone
n i hope i'll get it done.
Gonna go, hoping against hope
that she won't give me a 'nope'..

Finally, the sun dawned on the day.
OH! I'm trying to be gay.
But my heart seems to disco
n seems to say 'don't go'.

OH! ! never knew being so cool
is not meant for a fool..
Hey! ! but i'm not tensed
n dude..keep your confidence..

Red or white or green? ? ?
YUCK! ! green is bright n red is mean.
White shirt is perfect
n blue jeans will go with it.

Ready! Let me take the ring...
'Be cool', I'm saying.
Over to her house and
ask for her hand.

Reached! Hey? Isn't that she? ? ?
n dat guy? ? who's he? ? ? ?
n why are they hugging? ?
My heart seems to have stopped beating..

Aaarrgh...feels like dying.
I should've known.
I can't handle this, anyway.
Should i run away? ?

I was turning to go
when i heard a 'yo'.
She came to me n said
'meet my brother..come n sit'

We chatted and he parted
We looked at each other n started..
'I LOVE...' n burst out laughing
and i gave her the ring..

She took out a red rose and
we moved on hand in hand..
That's when i hit it..
what he said was so right

- when u r young everything
seems like the end of ur world....
