I Am Not a Moron

Now, When I turn back
I realize
The depth of my love for you.
It was easy to bid bye
But it’s difficult to endure with a sigh

Memories pile up old and crypt
The moments we shared
The giggles we made
The puerile fights we had
Then again, you came to console!

I was oblivious of my mistake
When I confessed my love
And the price I had to pay
Was nothing but our kinship!

I was a clown
With big red lips and white cheeks
And a big red nose
Masking the feelings
All went in vein at last
Alas! Am I a moron?!

Nothing but love knows
And love alone knows
Its pain and fain!
I am content
Not to lose you for
Not telling my love
I am glad, I am not a moron!

Now, When I turn back
I realize
The depth of my love for you.
It was easy to bid bye
But it’s difficult to endure with a sigh!!!

Yes, I have been. But, now a days I don't find much time to spend. But i have dedicated my first published book, a compilation of a few poems, titled 'Remnants of some silly experiences' to Poetry Soup. Thanks for the love and encouragement.

I have enjoyed this poem, Punnia. In life some things are not meant to be! Of course, we just can't sweep things under the carpet as if they never happened...memories will return from time to time. Regards // paul
