LOVE
RECTANGLE
(based
on a true story)
I
was once told
That
love is very confusing
That
even with its 1-syllable, 4-letter word
simplicity
It
really is an utterly complicated
Mind
boggling theory.
It
can drive people crazy
But
then the next minute they’re glad
And
then they’d get crazy again
Which
also drove even the smart people crazier
Because
no matter how they put their brains together
They
still can’t figure out this thing called love.
I
just laughed at all that
For
I never heard such a thing
I
mean that was an impeccable thing to say
For
a thing dealt with every single day.
But
then I became witness to this
And
saw for myself how confounding love can be
But
it’s more heart-baffling than it is with the mind
When
a sad ending happened to me.
One
day which seemed rather ordinary
A
friend whom I thought was nothing more
Asked
me to become part of his life;
I
said I was already in it as I was his friend
But
he said that wasn’t what he was asking for.
He
meant that he wanted me
To
be his one and only special someone
And
that put me in deep trouble
For
I only wanted us to be friends
Since
the beginning till the end.
Next
day came without much help
For
I haven’t told my friend yet
That
love could never happen between us
And
that it would be good if we all just forget.
So
I head to his house
With
all my guts left
When
suddenly I ran into this guy
Who
had the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen
And
then I knew that this was it,
This
was the man of my dreams!
He
gave me the most adorable smile
That
could melt the ice off the Artic
Or
even flood the waters of the Nile
For
his grin was perfect and I loved it!
He’s
my destiny,
I
could feel it in my heart!
But
my fastest pumping muscle
Only
deceived me into believing that
And
now I am so torn apart.
For
my one true love
Was
actually on his way
To
ask for the hand of a maiden
Who
captured his heart
And
kept it locked away
Inside
her own
As
to never keep them apart.
So
ends my tragedy
In
this love-crazed world
For
I had loved a guy
But
he loved another girl
And
someone offered me his love
But
I didn’t want to take it.
Why
can’t I just twist my fate,
And
turn things the other way around?
That
instead of the guy who gave me love
Yet
I didn’t love him
Would
become the guy who I loved
And
would offer me his love, too.
Why
is it that when you love someone,
He
loves somebody else;
While
somebody else loves you,
You’d
rather still love somebody else?
So
now I’m finally seeing
How
bizarre this whole thing is,
And
I guess it will always be confusing
For
I shall never figure out
This
thing called love. |
