Better Man !!
Recently i recieved Marriage Invitation from a close friend. While i was going through the schedule, Few pages from my past rolled in front of my eyes....
I still remember that pretty cold n foggy nite when one of my friends called me up and said I m coming to your place to see you ... Meanwhile he comes up i planned to kill time by scrolling through the TV channels and within mins i slept.... :-)
Ting Tong !
Ting Tong !! Bell rang and there he was.
He sounded low and edged out. I asked him "Wat happened man?"
With a long pause he replied "We broke up"....
Waaatttt!!!!!!, It cant be possible. You love her like anything and she simply can't live without you... Hmmmmm.. Let me have a word with her, Don’t worry everything will be fine.
He said "Its useless man, she won’t talk to you either. Its all my mistake, My mistake and only my mistake....."
and his feelings came out in the form of tears....
I realized that something terribly wrong has happened and now how to control him? I asked him to sit down and tell me wat went wrong?
He said " I always lied to her about my family status, my job, my feelings and everything and today i m paying the damn price for it"
He stood up and started to leave... I tried to stop him. He said "Let me go home ....and Avi if you can do something pls do that!! I want her back and I promise I will never lie to her again “
and he left..
It was a long night.. i kept looking at the roof just thinking bout the relation they used to share... and One line struck my mind "if my friend wud have been a Better Man" and there i got the title of my next poem... titled Better Man.
That nite I made a rough draft of the poem and slept at around 3 A.M.
Next day I modified the poem to sound it better. Later that day, I called him and asked to send this poem to his lost love and see if something positive comes out ?
For next few days , I didn’t heard anything from him and on Wednesday i was lying on sofa and scrolling through TV channels..
Ting Tong !
Ting Tong !!
Ting Tong !!!
Someone was in real hurry, I rushed to open the door and there He was standing with her with a big smile on those two lovely faces (which i still remember)
He smiled, hugged me and said Your peom did it!!!!
And today i am holding their marriage invitation in my hand...
So I am sharing the poem which did the trick on that day.. And it goes like this:
Now that all the beautiful days are gone,
You think you are better alone.
I know I promised you stars,
And was not able to keep those marks.
Even now I feel ocean in your eyes,
I want to be with you in green fields and beneath blue skies.
I know I hid my weakness at that time,
And that was the biggest fault of all times.
I should have been true to you,
Please understand I lied because I always loved you.
Bad time comes and passes by,
So stay here lets make another try.
Lets sit and solve the problems that we can,
I promise if not the best, I will be a BETTER MAN.
