Happiness and Regrets

My love, my happiness, my shattered pride

A grave mistake I made when I was young.

But that is not enough for suicide.


We were inseparable side by side

no matter what. I thought our love has sprung

my love, my happiness, my shattered pride.


A year back when we met by chance outside?

I drank my coffee while you strummed your song,

But that is not enough for suicide.


When I saw you, I thought you’re bona fide

Your looks has drowned the life out of my lungs

my love, my happiness, my shattered pride.


When we go out for food, were you even satisfied?

From how we ate and laughed and got along;

But that is not enough for suicide.


I bought a ring and posed, “Be my bride”.

You left me for a man. I’ll learn from this

My love, my happiness, my shattered pride,

But that is not enough for suicide.
