The moment I saw you that day,
My heart stopped for a bit,
It then started pumping fast,
It felt a connection, I must admit.

Then we started sitting next to each other,
I was really happy there,
Because I felt we were made for each other,
And my life was full of colors, love was in the air.

One day, when I thought of admitting my love,
Again a coincidence, even you wanted to tell me something.
I then convinced you to tell me first, in hope of hearing those three words.
But life is full of surprises and shocks, as if my heart stopped jumping.

I came to know about your love,
The only one you ever dreamt of,
I then realized my position in your life
It was just friendship from your side.

I got disheartened , but I didn't want to show you,
Trust me, this thing was killing me more,
I cried, even the tears dried up,
Now it's just an alive inner pain, I never experienced it before.

But then I thought to myself, what is love,
It was just his happiness that I ever wanted,
