Happy ending...

 It has been a long long time...

Since I last saw your face..

I don't want to think of it..

But I know it too well to erase.

What was it like,

To break my broken heart to pieces..

After you had tended it,

For a while..

You had taped it, glued it

Held it close..

Before, alas,dropping it

And crushing it under your toe..

Oh! If only I hadn't 

Pulled my mask down..

If only I had 

Looked at you and simply walked on..

If I turned away

And had never looked around..

Found another

Or found no one at all...

It may have been better

But how was I to know?

That you are not my happy ending....

Today,

I see you happy and smiling

Miles away...

Into the eyes of another

Everyday...

Are you happy,

Is it better this way...

Do you know me,

Or am I forgotten anyway...

Still lurking in some corner,

Or stuffed into a box thrown away..

Still the same,

Or have you changed..

Satisfied,

Unfazed and unchanged..

You may have got yours,

But I only know..

I still have to find my happy ending...

This is your life, girl..

Just when all my hopes ran dry,
The sun rose over the moon...
Autumn leaves fell off the trees,
And spring came in too soon..

Gotta stop trying,
Gotta stop crying,
Gotta stop wishing
for a magic boon..

This is your life, girl.
Live, love and paint it maroon.

Put in a red,
For every boy you loved..
And a green for the ones,
You were dumped over..

A little blue,
For the lonely,darkest nights..
A little pink,
For every gift,chocolate or handpicked balloon..

Nobody said,
It is going to be easy..
Soft as silk,
Sweet, simple and lazy...


You have to stop trying,
Have to stop crying,
Got to stop believing,
In magical fairies and boons..


This is your life, girl.
Go, start living it soon...
