“I am not ready,
I won’t say ‘I love you’,
You will have to wait,
I know I told you.
It’s been a few months,
And we are having so much fun.
I know you want it,
But I can’t say if you are the one.
It’s not like I don’t want you,
But baby, I have this fear.
Those words are precious,
And I want to be in the clear.
When you said you loved me,
I asked you to hold onto it.
But you said I could wait,
Till I am ready to say it.
I am sitting here thinking,
I miss your love and care.
You just left for Boston,
Your sister is over there.
It’s just been two days,
And I need your sweetness.
Your calls and Skype,
Not helping my loneliness.
I can’t wait any longer,
Finally have to tell this to you,
Babe, you are my world,
And how ‘I love you’.”
~
You have been gone since,
But I don’t regret it.
We took a harsh decision,
We had to just do it…
Looking back at the time,
When I said it,
I am glad I waited,
We absolutely meant it.
Remembering those moments,
Been many years, I think five.
Oh, these are not tears,
There’s just something in my eye.

The xBF’s sister lived in Boston. He used to visit her quite often and during one such visit after a couple of months of us dating, I realized I truly was in love with him.
Parents were over at the east coast for a tour and they went to Boston and that triggered a thought process that atleast got a decent poetry post out. I would like to be a lovesick Devdas who drinks, cries and churns out poetry. But then alcohol=big tummy and crying=floating contact lens. #problems
last line was damn good…
its not easy to maintain rhymes, you did it very well…:)
keep up
