Poem
Once upon a time there lived, A beautiful girl and a man she loved. So true was such their love, There wasn't anyone who disapproved. It had been love at first sight, A fairy tale since that day. The maiden had found the man of her dreams, No one else needed to have a say. They had done it all, Candlelight dinners, shyly holding hands, Kissing in the rain, dancing around trees, Leaving intertwined footprints on white sands. But it wasn't just another love story, It was uniquely special like every other one. They had eyes for no other but one another, The best part of their lives had just begun. They traveled around the world, And she kissed her man at the seven wonders each. People would smile at the storybook couple, As they counted stars standing on a beach. With her, he was the man he wished to be, The one who wouldn't think twice, About pulling her up to dance in a crowded train, He'd protect her, keep her happy at any price. He'd see through her weak smile, All the way to the tears inside, He'd whisper sweet things in her ear, Hold her till all the tears dried. Though they did have a fair share of problems, They always came together again, No matter what happened, Like raindrops on a window pane. On a rainy day, she had sat waiting, Wondering about the surprise he had promised, But he never came, For the winds of fate had suddenly changed. Five years after that day, she found herself alone, Sitting on the porch, counting stars on her own, As she recalled the day he had been taken from her, 'An unfortunate accident' on the next the papers had shown. She hadn't cried on the phone, she hadn't cried on the way, She didn't even cry when she had to identify him, Not a single tear or a heartrending sob. She just stared ahead with an expression so grim. It was only when she had received his belongings, The remnants of his last minutes, did she react. She screamt and cried, laughed and wailed, For among others, was a diamond ring beautifully packed. His surprise, the laughter in his voice, The excitement, the secrecy of the evening. He had been right, it had left her breathless, But he wasn't there to see the sorrow it did bring. Even now her eyes brimmed with tears, As she looked at the ring as it sparkled, And thought of that time when there lived, A beautiful girl and a man she loved. - Miliya Parveen
