My fingers froze on sultry noon
I was obsessed
with a thought of winning her
but my true feelings she never assessed
yet hope I lost never
hoping that positivity wins ever
I continued to impress with feelings pure and true
she smiled, said meet at marriage court next hour
madly joyous, dreamt proposal-cum-marriage, wait worth due
There she was with her fiancé, me not having any clue
my world came crashing down
she just wanted me to be witness for their vows “ I do”
my fingers froze on sultry noon
still somehow signed the Register
thinking destiny wishing for me something better
