And then it happened, magical it seems
She was right there, the girl of his dreams
Walking down the aisle, in her flowy white gown
Looking at her, he could not control, and tears fell down

And then it happened, their eyes finally met
She looked at him and smiled, her eyes also wet
He whispered into her ears "my heart is beating fast"
The reply came out beautifully "don't worry, it will last"

From newton's law to bio's chapter nine
From boring classes to cheating with signs
From backbenchers lunch to borrowing pens
From school buses to cycles to the private vans

From role plays to skits to viva and file
I miss that time when real was the smile
From skirts and plaits to polished shoes
Take me back there for a minute or two

Old school romance is what everyone chatters
But are you even ready for it, that's what matters
It's like the drops of water after a strong thunder
"Is this for real" this love will make you wonder

The forever young romance and sweet little things
Those people will not understand who believe in flings
The hidden letters and roses in between books
It's not something for those who fall for the looks

-

The flowers will bloom and stars will twinkle
Chandeliers above the head and flowers will be sprinkled
The curve of her lips is making everything clear
The happiness she is experiencing along with fear

Walking down in olive green, she will get the honor
The sword that she was waiting for, is kept in a corner
Mind glued to the corner but sight is pretty straight
She made the destiny bow down and changed her fate...!!

Feeling empty and lost is the new normal
Days of skirts are gone, now we wear formals
Questioning and doubting the existence isn't fine
The thought of quitting runs inside every time

Too bad with words, too lost in track
Too many negative thoughts are pushed back
"You know you can do better" is what everyone says
Maybe taking a step ahead is the right way

-

And what is meant to be will find a way
Might come at night or maybe on a bright day
You are a shining star, you are a bright sun ray
Be so kind that for you even the haters will pray

"She was raped" is the term used by us..
Don't you think "he raped her" is more disgust..
Justice for celebrity is what we ask for..
Why eyes are closed now and why the throats are sore..

"Hang the rapists" we always say...
But holding the candle isn't the right way..
Cremation without the consent is what we do..
Not just the rapists but we are culprits too..

-

Whether to hold on a bit more or to let go
Confused between the two as I don't know..!!

"People crave for what you have" I was told
Maybe that's why I'm stuck as it is life's another fold..

Mind keeping pace with time but life has become slow
Choose the growth or should I go with the flow..!!

-

Looking beyond that line was never a choice
Maybe it was intuition but it was wise
Told by everyone but believed by very few
Miracles happen everyday and dreams do come true...

-

To the "I love you" and pretty little lies
To the guy I thought "oh, he's nice"
To the "forever and always" and "loving beyond"
I wish I could undo it just with a wand...


Slowly and gradually, I am getting there
Covering my wounded heart with another layer
Stopped blaming myself as it was your loss
Oh wait, did I tell you that I am my own boss..!!
