You said you loved, I ignored

You said you loved, I ignored

You said you loved, I ignored You said you cared, I didnt believe you You constantly texted, I never replied You called, I hung up.

You asked me to stay back, I left making excuses. Got a bus to board, got a class, running late, got a train Never did you complain I was rude, I was bitchy, I was full of attitude You were a calm and a composed dude This made you think you bugged me,

I thought so too, But that, was not the case No more texts, no more calls, never did you wish to meet me again There was silence all over, and I missed you My heart wanted to call you up, it wanted to text, but my brain denied.

Ego. Everytime the phone rang, everytime it beeped, I ran to see your name, but failed.

Then came the day, you said hey Holding my breath, I asked where you were You asked me if I even cared I said I cared, you ignored I said I missed you, you didnt believe me I texted, never came a reply I called, the phone kept ringing It was over, I thought. He didnt love me anymore. He wouldve found another lucky woman. My ego, had burnt me to ashes. Ten years passed by. Time flew. Never did I forget him.

Nor did I forget, the lesson I learnt because of him. Lives changed. I had moved on. Then came the day, the day of our college reunion.

Wrinkled faces all over, excited, with little kids around them. Young couples from college, now mature parents. We couldve been one of them, I thought. My eyes scanned through, through everything that came on my way. There was everyone except the one I was looking for.

I left the hall, convincing myself, that he wouldnt be as excited to meet me, as I was, for him. My heart made me run to that little cottage, which couldve been mine. One old woman, welcomed me with smiles. She knew my name, I was surprised.

Then came little kids running around. They knew me well too. He had found his love. I confirmed. Then came a beautiful lady, excited.

Brother always said youd come. Im so glad to meet you. My kids have grown up having heard stories about you. -She exclaimed. So, its his sister, I thought. I asked her where he was.

Had he moved to the city with his family? She smiled. She said, its been ten years. They had lost him. Cancer had eaten him up from within.

When I thought he ignored me, he was in pain. He was dying with grief, and I, doubted his love.

He has left this for you , said Stella. There came an a pink card. It said, Smile, and move on. Hope youve found someone you deserve.

Hope he cares for you more than how much you care for me. You said you cared.

I believed you. I wanted you to move on. Yes. I never deserved a man like you.

I broke down. Meet you in the heaven, after eighty years , he added. We would never meet.

I know. Because heaven, is not for people like me. Lets meet in the next life at least.

Where Id be the guy, and you be my girl. Im sure youd do a better job. Love you. Foreve.
