An Untold Love Story
It was one of those unusual days,
I could feel it in my bones.
I was running late to work,
But the cab wasn’t there yet.
My hands seemed to move towards my mailbox,
Fully stacked with all sorts of mails.
That’s when it caught my eye,
That name, It sounded so familiar!
My heart started beating swiftly,
“Work pressure maybe?, “ I thought.
I was still gazing at the sequined Invitation,
Reminiscing about the day I met you.
I’m a pretty forgetful guy, but I still remember the first day we met.
It was the first time, I got lost in your enchanting eyes, like nothing else mattered.
We were best friends before we knew it.
And like salt and pepper, We were inseparable.

My days used to feel incomplete without spending time with you in the canteen at least once.
I even distinctly remember our usual table.
That’s where we were simply chatting that fateful day.
“I wanted to tell you something, “ you said hesitantly.
“For some…. sometime now, “ you stuttered shyly.
I knew what you were gonna say;
It pained me to see you struggle.
How can it not? When I, myself, was struggling to confess my love to you.
“Wait, don’t say it yet!, “I interrupted.
“Give me a second, “ I said as I raced towards my locker.
I took out an envelope, with a letter waiting for you in it,
A love letter, from me.
“It’s the right time, “ I thought to myself while holding it in my hands.
You always told me this is how you like it.
Handwritten, in a sealed envelope, waiting to be opened, and to be read, only by you!
I returned with the letter, high spirited just in time to notice you snuggling in the arms of another man, at our table across the room.
My whole world shattered in front of me as I stuffed the letter deep in my pocket.
I just stood there, all alone, looking at you doing your signature giggle with him.
Seeing me at a distance,
You walked towards me.
“Hey, He’s the one I wanted to talk to you about, “ You said cheerfully.
I stood there hopelessly, wondering if it was all just a bad dream.
Of course, you were a dream.
Like the one that fades away
When you wake up in the dawn.
Were you really not into me?
Coz everytime we exchanged glances,
You never missed to look away.
I thought you were mine, But you never loved me.
“The cab’s here! ,” yelled my Mom, jolting me back to reality.
“I will be there, ma” I muttered to myself
As i left the house, without taking my eyes off your wedding card.
