Valentine's special

You see ... most of the poems I write are in Kannada ... so I really don't know how to post them online ... but here's one I recovered from a dusty old book. I warn you ... its got nothing to do with me ... its not my story ... and any resemblances are purely co-incidental ... its about a failed love relationship ... the boy writes to the girl on Valentine's Day ... expressing his sadness ... surprisingly I wrote this on Feb 14th ... the Valentine's Day ... ain't I leading a pitiful life ... sitting and writing poems on that day ... when I have got to be doing something more romantic ... anyway ... here it goes !!

I had promised you something on Valentine's Day,
that with you I'd forever stay,
that for the rest of your life, I'd shower you with love;
But I hate to say this: "I break my promise now"

It was on a Valentine's, when we looked at each other like never before;
Its the same Valentine's, but the love is no more.
The warmth has faded, the closeness was never there;
Its too late to say it, but we could have made a good a pair.

Perhaps this relationship wasn't meant for us,
but what's the use now of making a fuss.
We can still remain friends all our life,
even after you find a husband, and me, a wife.

So wipe your tears and stay strong,
If you are depressed, I shall sing you a song.
This is all I could give you on Valentine's Day;
You had brought colour to my life, now its all grey !!
