I thought we were perfect..

There was a time when I didn’t know what love was..
Then you came along..

I don’t know how it happened, it just did..
All of it started to come true, what I’d dreamt of as a kid..
Your beautiful eyes showed the zing I had never witnessed before
Your smile made my day, your hug bettered everything,

You solved every problem, had a way out of every difficulty
You ensured there was no guilt, no blame, no self-pity
You made sure I ate well and was well rested,
I wish I’d known then, that I was just being tested..

I trusted you blindly, gave you the ropes of my life,
You handled them well, but only for a while..
I didn’t ask for too much, just you till the end of time
And you said to me, you’ll leave me ‘never ever..forever’..that was your constant chime

I truly believed you, now I think, I shouldn’t have
After all that happened, I think it was too much I gave..
I really thought you would have stuck to your word, to all that you’d said
I don’t know what they meant, all those promises you made..

It is sad to think, such a beautiful relationship fell flat
I just wish you had the guts you always lacked!
Now you’re gone, happy with someone else,
I don’t know what to say, I am still numb..
But mostly, I feel naked, wounded and dumb!

There are just so many memories; I don’t know what to do with them
Every turn I take, everywhere I go, I am reminded of you
What didn’t I do for you, I put so much at stake,
I fought with so many, but, you just let my heart break..

Now, what is left is only hurt and scars..
I have begun to believe that love is a farce..
How wrong I was, now I reflect..
Because, for a time I actually thought we were perfect..
