Nothing More Than Just A Friend? Part 2 Poem by Daya Nandan

That passionate love for her in his heart he chooses to keep,
Deeper than vast oceans, his love so deep,
He wouldn’t mind getting cuts for her he wouldn’t care if he bleeds,
For he believes that her tender love is all he needs,

When he looks deeply in her well shaped enticing eyes,
He sees fireworks and the heavenly colourful skies,
He loves her deeply with a heart of romance,
But she looks at him as a friend and sees for him no chance,

Hence, between these youths remains a distance,
Unless he builds love within her and proves its existence,
The only way for his deep and intense love to succeed,
Is for him to slowly plant within her love’s seed,

That planted love within that may make her see,
That he is the one for her and she is his bride to be,
Unless in her heart the emotion he succeeds to ignite,
Only then can she love him and call him her knight,

Though, giving life to love may seem both a goal quite hard and far,
Life on earth itself is only possible because of the nearest star,
A secret this reveals that love cannot be stopped by mere distance,
Just as it took time for life to form love too takes great persistence,

So believe in love for believing is a kind of salvation,
Have faith in yourself and evoke your determination,
If a man never hopes he will never see beyond his hopes,
Just as if he closes his eyes in a pit, he can never find the hidden ropes,

Therefore, he still stands a chance through her loveless storm,
For chances will remain to bring out her gentle love so warm,
The power of love and persistence can rival lightning and thunder,
That is what makes humans god’s greatest wonder,

You see, the magic of building love does not just exist in American and Hindi movies,
Nor are all great love stories highlighted in history with pride and glittering trophies,
If he is to have a chance in love so unpredictable and never clear,
He has to make her give him a chance, open her heart and give up her fear,

And now all that is left is to wait and let time tell,
If this young man has what it takes to break her loveless spell,
If she will one day love him and walk with him hand in hand,
If he will become her lover or just remain as her friend,
