A Gem Of A Craze

All through my life I despised my weaknesses,

Throughout my experiences I avoided major risks,

Throughout my prayers I prayed for none but myself,

Throughout my sleep I dreamt in peace and happiness

I therefore declare myself failed,

Failed in that one emotion called love,

Not because I never got someone,

But because like a child into it I drove

Drove my heart on a merry chase

Behind a nonexistent reality

Of blissful harmony

It’s fine now that I don’t have to wait

But I have the pleasure of confession

It wasn’t so bad to be frank

She understood; I understand

That it’s a fluke

A sudden rush into the head,

At first sight, not what I expected

But it happened and I had no way out of it!

So here I stand at a crossroad

Where to go I don’t know

What I will choose I can only guess,

What I will get I can only hope

I know not for sure where I will stop

With what I will end up

What all I have to give up

But I know for sure a fact

That some gems are worth being admired

Even though they belong to someone else

I can do these things

For a while it won’t matter if she isn’t mine,

Later on it won’t matter if God forbid we part

Cuz this gem will shine bright

For as long as I will remember

What this gem is all about!

Till then I need to focus

On other priorities as well

But this gem will always be around,

Shining, giving me light,

Showing me the way,

Like a true friend-

One in whom I will always believe

One whom I will never ever deceive.
