10th February

 

It was a bright winter day, 

Exciting and cool

I bought a little teddy bear, 

From the shop near the school.

For someone special, obviously

But I won't tell her name,

Perhaps she might read it someday

And might not feel the same.

I reached school a little early that day

To keep the surprise ready

And when I hear her footsteps near,

I would pop up the teddy

And tell her what I had on my mind

How deep my feelings were

And I would never leave her alone

In her sweet name, I swear.

I had to act and hide a lot,

From my teachers and my friends

A tiny mistake in the plan

Can cause the thing to end.

Finally, she arrived at school, 

It might be a little late

The assembly bell had already rung

And guards were closing the gate

I quickly rushed to class

And hid it inside my bag

I thought I would hand it over to her

When I would come back.

But the whole day passed that way

Waiting for the perfect time

My school had too many students

Like a lot of seeds in lime.

Finally before the dismissal,

I got some time free

I rushed to her classroom and

Stood out in the balcony.

But as soon as she came out

And stood smiling before me

My hands started to tremble 

As I kept holding the teddy

I was so so nervous

To talk my heart to her

That I began to fumble

Like a foolish jerk.

I somehow managed to hand it over

And wish you a "Happy Teddy Day"

She smiled and thanked me and took the gift

And waved me in a cute way

Then she sat in her pool car

In which she used to go home,

And looked at me and smiled once more

And then she was gone

I could never tell her how much,

I loved and felt for her

I fell in her love three years back

On 14th November.

She wore such a pretty dress that day

Like a princess did she look

In the hall amongst all students, 

She was the fishing hook

Perhaps many felt like me

And many had lost their hearts

But what I had was a true love 

And the first love for me so far.

But time is cruel and bitter for me

It always made me sad

That day was our last meet

After which something happened so bad

My own best friend abused her,

Faking it in my name

And then there was so much chaos

And I was the one to be blamed.

And so much she hated me after that

That she didn't even see my face.

Never did she try to listen to me

And help the truth to trace.

Time will pass as it passes

It heals all wounds so fast

But my wound has bled my sky

That none can repair, it's so vast

I had tried to forget all and

I walked so long in so hurry

But no one ever in my life

Could make me forget

10th February!
