Setting sun and a cold breeze
People's gossips and lush trees
Evening sky and birds fluttering
Poetic environment and lovers strolling

Pedalling by the houses, was I
Freedom feeling and excitement
Roads deserted with stray dog's cry
There was no place for resentment

I saw an unknown girl with a familiar face
Remembered her from my karate days
She was a junior and a tough kicker
Seven years and still no weaker

She looked lone, just like me
On her cycle with a low speech
Looking forward to a happy hour
Setting her foot to blow the power

I resolved to ride to her and ask
"Do you remember me, from an old class?"
"Yes", said her with a progressing glee
It was time to catch up with my memories

We started to ride along
Through the straight road towards the pond
Talking about the merry old days
Funny deeds and kiddish ways

We were getting along really well
Her eyes filled with elation
So we went on to taste some tacobell
Enjoying the chef's tasty creation

Then it was time to say good bye
Maybe forever, Maybe till the hen's cry
I pedalled back home with a glow
The love angel had pulled back his bow

Next day, I met her again
We exchanged contacts for a merrier blend
Then we dashed again for the finest hour
With happy faces and attracted ardours

Days past by like finger clicks
Everyday, I saw her beautiful hair flicks
We grew closer by these clicks
Cycling times changed to friendly kicks

One fine day, I asked her out
Prom party and selfies with pouts
"Yes", she replied and blushed wine
Benovelent silence that triggered smiles

The next day, I dressed in black suit
Tried my best to look handsome and cute
Felt nervous but loosened my shoulders
Prom party with my crush felt like boulders

I Tuxed up and was ready go
Pushed aside my nervousness with a blow
I drove to her house to pick her up.
She had already left and left behind her pup

I sat in the car knowing she was into me
There was no controlling of my glee
I drove to the club where the party was
There she stood, waiting with a dress of rose.

We exchanged smiles, hugged and went in
My brother's birthday celebration with his clan and kin
We danced random and berserk
The air was celebrating and I could feel it's smirk

Then there was a sudden change in the song
It was a romantic, and I knew where I belonged
I rested my hand on her waist as the DJ fixed the cassette
We swayed on "take me back to the night we met"

We danced and smiled until we stilled on locked eyes
There was a silence even though I could hear my guys
We grew closer, our bodies wanted to engulf the other
Closer and closer till we kissed in the party chamber

It was clear and official now.
I knew it when she adjusted my tux's bow
We held hands as the party vanished in tiredness
We started to leave with the drink's dizziness

I left her hand to get the car from across the road.
I was walking across when I heard the tire's screeching roar.
I turned back, just to see her bleed on the road
I rushed to the hospital as a rose bled the colour of rose.

Thirty minutes, a cpr and many tensed tears later
Doctors got her back but I questioned our creators
"Why, why did you do this? She didn't deserve it"
"why, why did you pull of this shit"

I cried, I questioned, I roared in anger
But as usual, there was no answer
I hit my head, blamed myself
Why, did you leave her hand

I loved her, too much to lose hope
Maybe that's why she was finally touching
The floor with her toes
She was walking now, slowly, steadily with a helping

We were happy with her progress,
I used to cry on seeing her walk, out of happiness
It was all improving now.
To have some fun, she planned a trip to the snow

But........

A day came by
She was alone,
still weak with her head blown

I came in that day looking for her
Couldn't find her.
Looked everywhere
And then found her

She locked herself in the bathroom
Laid on the floor when I broke through
I pulled her in to feel her heartbeat
Hoped she could here me screaming
Please don't leave me.

Long endless road, she was silent beside me
I was driving a nightmare I couldn't escape from
Helplessly prayed, that the light doesn't fade
Hid the shock and the chill in my bones

They took her away on a table
I paced back and forth as she laid still
They pulled her in to feel her heartbeat
Hoped she could hear me screaming,
Plz don't leave me

I promised to make it all right
I swore to love her all my life
I wanted her to come back
I still wanted her, I still needed her

The doctors slowed down
Backed out
"Time of death-14.37 hours"

The end
