My lady and our friend

I wrote this when I was heartbroken, tottering, limping around. The girl, I had crush on, had long moved ahead, leaving me banging my head on the walls. But you know what – fate finally smiled on me and I did it, what I had been longing to do. It is this story that I present before you.

One day,moving about in the street,

I came across my very old friend sweet.

We started with a formal 'hi' and 'hello'

And then we talked about another class fellow.

It was the guy who had fallen in love

with the same girl on whom I had my crush.

He beat me there and proposed her first,

The girl agreed and my poor heart was hurt.

My love,my girl, he had so cleverly trapped

that I was left strangled, choked and gagged.

The two shared a passionate relation

And kissed around much to my desperation.

For all my attempts to erect, between them, a wall,

I consistently got to eat bricks and balls.

So, tired,I had lost all hopes to get her

when this lucky bit of news got to my ear.

The guy now had split with my lady

And not without a fight quite good,quite saucy.

They had shouted at each other and on phone

And prayed for hell for each other's soul.

The couple now was formally split

And this bit of news brought back spring in my step.

I went ahead,I lost no time,

My sweetheart now she is, that lady so fine.

So, friends take my word -

Don't lose time to confess your love

A delay, and you never know,

someday else will trap and take away your dove.
