A LOVE STORY THAT NEVER WAS

(I  found this poem I’ve written back in college days.  It was scrawled at the back of my columnar notebook*, in all fairness,haha! I guess this was written when I realized the person I want to be with had found “someone” else (sigh!).  It was untitled though. ..)

I yearn for the little moments with you I had

Laughing and teasing, such a nonsense act!

Yet it made me sad to realize

That these were now just a blur

A forgotten memory of a young love

I never had the courage to say I love you

‘Coz I’ve kept my feelings all by myself

Waiting for the right time to say out loud

But I guess fate has other plans

It led you into someone else’s

Now, here I am still wondering

How it would feel

To be in your arms, holding me close

Dreaming together, waiting for tomorrow.

IT wasn’t meant to be, I know

For my chances have been gone ages ago.
