Fanaa

He saw her at the stairs, standing timid and confused,
The stripes turtle neck added to her looks.
How could he know, she will change him in time,
He considered her just another girl passing by.

But as destiny had its call, they met again,
Sat for a brief chat and things were never the same.
Suddenly he realized, she's the one,
Not knowing what she was thinking in return.

Time passed by often they met,
Trying to know each other, those were brief yet sensible chats.
Hopes started to built, peers pushed him from behind,
How could he know, the future ahead of time.

Twice in a row the phone rang,
Thing became clear, it was not him but his friend.
Earth shattered; he had the shock of his life,
Not able to react, he wished he could cry.

But strong character was he, regained his sense,
Decided, if not him, he shall help.
As always helping others was what he liked,
Here he was standing with the chance of his life.

As always destiny had a bigger surprise,
Things didn't work for her either and she lost her smile.
How hard did he tried to fix her life,
Facts are facts which one needs to accept as they come by.

Now she was alone looking for a friend,
Who better could have hugged her than a past admirer and a friend's friend!

With tender and sweet thoughts he tried to console,
Trying to explain world is beautiful be brave and bold!
Considering her situation he understood she needed time,
His only request was don't be disheartened; with winter passing, again sun shall shine!

Home calling was his duty and he had to leave her alone,
Those were the best times when she found a new mentor.
Coming back he saw the change in her eyes,
Happy for her new avatar he let time drift by.

Then came a shocker, which I shall not describe,
Friend turned stabber, and she believed he lead the crime.
How I wish, she could have understood,
He was under a vow what else could he do?

As truth prevailed, trust was broken,
Slowly she drifted away leaving him alone in this world.
Yet they were friends, but things were not the same,
Suddenly he found himself in her awe again!

Firmly believing, she will not change,
This time he chose not to reveal his thoughts like a pouring rain.
But things had to explode, so did they
As expected once again she ran away!

That was an end to the story of his life,
As asked by her, he killed himself inside his mind.
Time passed by and still they meet around like minds,
He's the only person she never hated in the group of five.

Now the times are stable and they make fun of those times,
She is busy chasing her dreams like a furious knight!
I wish someday, she would stop visiting him in his dreams,
The only regret he has, why didn't destiny choose her for him.

Hey my fellow readers, don't weep to the sorrowful end,
As hope is his best friend and time his only enemy!
