The Day I Realised

Rating: 5.0


i met you through a mutual friend
although i had noticed you a long time ago
and i couldn't help but depend
surprisingly, on someone i didn't very much know

i remember receiving your message one night
i stared in surprise
but also with a secret delight
could my luck be so nice?

soon this became a regular thing
after school you would wait for me
talked to me even if you found it tiring
and i fell for your internal beauty

soon i started thinking of you
we started getting really close
cause i thought you did too
since we confessed when happy also when morose

then one fine day
which seemed like an entire lifetime
you stopped replying, to my utter dismay
as if i had done something wrong or perhaps a crime?

try as i might
you left me when i needed you immensely
we didn't even have a fight
tried to remind you that i loved you intensely

not only me, you left behind your best friends
never looked back even when you had the reason
never tried to make amends
instead choosing that one person

i tried to get over you
cause i felt betrayed
but i failed horribly dude
it was my love for you that forbade

i realized then
that for your own needs
you actually left all those
who had proved to be your friends indeed

i realized that the world was not fair
especially when your are genuinely happy
it was then that it gave us the toughest dare
which made us really unhappy

i realized, when i made other friends
that this thing didn't happen just to me
it actually became a trend
which we failed to see

it was that one friend who i befriended
who helped me get over you
and it was her on whom i was now depended
cause apparently she needed my help too

she actually cared for me
and loved me more that you ever did
her love for me is actually evident, you see?
because of her, from my mind you silently slid

she took your place
which you had occupied
now there is always a smile on my face
cause my love for you had died
while my love for someone else surfaced

i realized that nothing was permanent
especially things or people that you loved
they have to hurt your sentiment
to make you understand you were not their beloved

i realized that people like you
weren't meant to be
in company with
truthful and deserving people like me

The spark you had for her was turned into a mere glorification of outer beauty. You write with passion, that's the secret behind beautifully crafted poems that everyone can relate with. The rhyme scheme of the piece is lovely. For such a young poet, you amaze me with your train of thoughts and talent. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.

Thank you sir! its just a way of expressing your thoughts so age doesnt matter...but your poems actually get me thinking about that topic from your own mindset which is truly beautiful.
