Unrequited love

Now, I don't know what makes it so touching to me, but I seem to relate to this one better than any other. The concept of unrequited love has been explored ad nauseam by our Tamil/Telugu/English/Hindi (of course!)/ and so many other film-makers that any talk about it has become silly/senti/cheesy stuff for those who believe in quoting only the 'hep' quotes.

I don't know whether I am such a dreamy, starry-eyed, head-in-the-clouds fellow. (Yeah, I know. I know. I metamorphose into a more verbose identity when I log into my blog.) I have always been drawn towards those unnoticed lovers they show on screen. (Lets ignore crap films that had crappy 'actors' and crappier music) Imagine yourself in love and your proposal has been rejected. Whether it is a slap or a "So sorry da. I have made my move. It's your enemy." line, you feel like nothing you have ever experienced before. (of course, it doesnt hold true if that was your 175th proposal to the 247th girl who's only sin was to smile at you because you tripped and fell because of her high heeled stool. And don't ask me how.)

So, here's me. My hand or rather my keyboard at love. I mean, unrequited love. Now, I tried hard to get each line to be rhyming with the previous line. It took up so much time. Then a brainwave hit me. I used the same words. Clever of me is'nt it? Alright, anybody still reading this post, check it out.

With every passing day
I loved her more
With every passing day
She neglected me more
With every passing day,
Her mind erases my image into
The obscure oblivion
She showed me what it is
To rebuff a person you love
To show nonchalance when your
Mind, body and soul burns...

But still...

Is there nothing we can do now
For the things we once had done?
Can we not tread the path
Of the memories we shun?
Can we not talk sweet nothings
Of the past that we did so often?
Can we not forget the days
That we both so do dread ... ?


I cannot imagine such a thing happening to me. But still, in case this happens to me, I know there are more fish in the sea than the one that escaped my net.

These lines simply meant more than what you said
"To show nonchalance when your
Mind, body and soul burns..."

Good thought about the fishes though just pray to God that you don't find yourself in a situation where you can just think about that one single fish and every other fish just looks nonexistent to you.

@ lifelover :
Thanx.. Though, I feel whether I need to go as far as praying to God for things like that...
But I certainly know that I would not be disappointed to let other fishes escape my net just because my favorite fish jumped outta my hands.. ;)
