12:00a.m.-14 August-99

Sometimes I think

There are better things in life

Better things to smile and see

Reasons are less

In fact, they are least

Why sad I should be

Better things to think about

Better things to worry for

Better things to care about

Better things to dream of

Better things to concentrate on

Better things to even cry for

Better than…the damn heartbreak

And I try my best

To forget you

And think about the rest

Next moment the heart says

‘Hey brain, keep shut

What useless things you think

You loved her more than all, one day

How can you let love sink?’

And then gather clouds of thoughts

As dark as they could be

And rain from the eyes then says

‘Why did not love me she?’

I know I have to listen to my brain

And hope that heart gets used to it

After of course, a bit of strain

But if it didn’t do so in six months or more

How, now will it get

Today is August fourteen a.m. twelve

Two hundred days will be up

After today

Since the day you disagreed

And I am as dumb as I was

I love you, still

A request

Love me not

If you love me not

Because happy I want you to be

And if you love me

When you love me not

How happy shall you be?
