Oceans between us...
Early Februarys 2009, I first
met you in our new church. From that day onwards I was dying to talk to
you. But the time slipped by silently.
You remember when we were going on our Christmas carols; I somehow
got a chance to talk to you. Believe me it was an inspiring discussion.
Then we were chatting on FB. We were so friendly but still we had some
major arguments. But you were chatting with me like there was something
in your heart for me. But once, you told me about your long standing
crush.
My heart sank, but I kept chatting with you.
You even sent me her photos to get my opinion. She's a gorgeous girl.
And then you were asking about my crush, so I told you. Somehow on our
youth get-together you teased me using his name. I felt like bursting
into tears, but I composed myself and faked a smile. But still I was the
only girl in our church you talked with. We were such close friends.
We are from different cultures, we used different languages. From the
beginning I knew that there were oceans between us. Yet again I
sometimes feel we are not that far apart.
Now the time has come for me to go. But there are still hopes and
dreams about you in my mind. Somehow I know I'll love you till the end
of time. Sha'
Love Lines
L
A lonely lad fell in love
With a lively lass
Lovely as a lotus
Until he met a lovelier lass
Who he little knew
Was a lousy loose-skirt
Until he was left lonelier still
And literally languishing
In loveless solitude
Only then, only then
Did the loony lad
Learn a lesson in love
Lurid enough
To last a lifetime.
