I also ran!

a famous coffee shop, the man walks in
my eyes wide shut, my voice choking in
amidst noise in the background, the clock strikes nine,
the girl is at my side, but its only a matter of time

a lightning strikes, but the aura is grim,
she says I am taken, and he is him,
7 long years, of hope and dreams,
come to an end today, as inevitable as it seems

It was only a moment ago,
she was well within reach,
but I can't drop her back now,
as many a boundaries, it would breach

She stole the show and my heart,
with her looks,and the least of art,
she was simple and simplicity i admired,
that was the connection, which kept us wired

Her calm demeanor, her lovely eyes,
that made my heart beat, and let my spirits rise,
I have had the last of them, or so fate says,
they would never look at me again, in the coming days

I longed for her and gave away signs,
she stood her ground behind the lines,
time would set it right , I had high hopes
I never realised, I was walking on tight ropes

If only I could see what lay in your heart,
if only I could read your mind,
if only I dared,
peace would have been possible to find

Friendship day was all when it began,
friendship was all to her, for this man,
But life has moved on, she has crossed the rubicon
and the man still ponders, with an unexecuted plan

Friendship day is when it has ended,
in a way that was not too splendid,
two hearts vow to beat together,
and another is too broke to be mended

Tons of sentiments unshared,scores of feelings untold,
she flies away today, the lady with a heart of gold.
"It never was you, it never could be you","
But I am glad you said it, what you wanted to be told"

She is gone now, once and forever,
my life won't be the same again, never never never,
to bring out the truth , I wish it was a ploy,
to open up the gentleman in me, who was ever so coy

It takes years for hopes to build up,
but a few moments turn them to dismay,
friends , if you do love someone,
gather the courage and "say,say,say"

I wish them tons of luck,
now that their long journey has began,
but let me just tell the apple of my eye,
I could not win, but I also ran.
