Life....

True Love

The torment of his wailing soul showed on his face

As the train left the station and started to gather pace

He wanted to try as hard as he could to stop the leaving train

But with all his aspirations buried in his heart…he yelled “DON’T GO!” but in vain

How could she leave him desolated to face the arduous task – to live a life

Could she be content & happy .. being someone else’s wife?

As his dreams had shattered and the hope to hope had perished

All those moments began to sting him..the ones he had once cherished

As the train vanished out of sight he was left all alone

His trust had been quashed .. now he would not call no one his own

Thoughts raced past him as he stared dumbly without blinking

Into an ocean of emotions .. he felt himself sinking

He had endowed upon he could.. his soul, body and mind

And now she’d thought to go with someone else .. leaving him behind

Till two days ago everything had been so nice and fine

Until he received that wretched letter .. at quarter to nine

“Thank you for everything … but I have to go on with my life

My best wishes to you.. hope u find a good wife

Just forget that I existed & find a new mate

‘coz I have been confronted upon by my fate!”

This is all she said.. not a word less or more

And when he tried to meet her .. she’d not open the door

Before the shock could set in & he could stabilize his mood

She’d boarded the train and left the city for good

He’s seen that man’s hand on her shoulder that fateful noon

And he realized the reason for her leaving him so soon

After all he was a pauper .. and she must have found someone wealthy

Who would keep her like a princess.. hale hearty and healthy

After all love couldn’t suffice for all that money could do….

He realized that day that money could buy everything…including love too…..

Years rolled by and decades passed away

He now had a good wife .. with his third child on the way

But he still clearly remembered the scene behind that rail carriage

He’d tied the knot just as a compromise…. more than marriage

He’d now learned to live…. And learned to forget

“NEVER FALL IN LOVE” he’d say to each person he met

Then one fine morning as he came across the man..

Yes…he was the one with his girlfriend..he remember has clearly as one can

He said to the man “How is your wife? Pay my regards to her!”

The man replied back shell-shocked “But I am not married, Sir!”

Then u didn’t marry her .. she must have been witched

I guess after me.. u too must have been ditched

“Never fall in love” ‘coz it can only be bought by bucks

She must have found a richer guy.and left you quacking like a bunch of ducks!”

“Are u talking about Anna?” the other man asked astounded

“Who else could be so evil?”.. he responded

The other man said “Though I promised her…this all I can’t take it

I had promised her not to tell .. but I got to break it

She was suffering from Leukemia .. a dreaded disease

And after leaving you she didn’t live a moment with ease

For three full days she cried and cried

And on the night of the third.. she painfully died

She left you my man .. so that you could live in peace

And her last words were “God, give him a good wife please!”

And what you may ask … was I doing with her

Well my friend … I was her doctor!

She had told me to promise .. that this to no one I should tell

But rather than hearing her being called a witch…I’d chose to go to hell”

Saying all this the doctor left the block

Leaving the man standing there dumbfounded .. in a state of shock

He felt more guilty than anyone in the world could have been

And for the first time in his life he did realize…what “TRUE LOVE” really did mean!!!
