Out of a Joke

It was just a joke I was rehearsing my verse It was by heart Never heard a quiet voice so loud Maybe I was falling Without knowing I am falling Do people really know? Or they just realise they have fallen Sometimes you wonder How come I am on the ground? What really happened to me? Who pushed me down? She was right next to me She had all the traits of my woman Don't ask me how did I know? My heart does not tell lies I was rehearsing my verse All by heart but the last lines That you really miss me often Even now you are next to me She turned towards me; up close She pulled down her mask and mine too Infecting me with her emotional deadly virus In shock my temperature arose with the instance sickness I shook myself up Taking a step forward; my chin - Leaning on her right shoulder I whispered into her ear, I love you too! She smiled and whispered back In sadness can I take a mile ahead? Don't misjudge me in my haste I am well mannered though You look so true, can you marry me I was not sure but I went on ... I am not sad in this happiness But in sickness this could be madness Anyway you look mad in thy sadness Sorry don't ask me what happened next Even me I don't really understand I was in bank; later I am on my bed Checking time it was 5 a.m.
