Love Poem: The White Bench

The White Bench

Today crossing that white bench 
again,
 I walked down the memory lane of 
pain 
This is the place where my ‘love story ‘
began
And the memories flashed where I 
was sitting with you holding hands
Not caring about the time, if it was 
day or dawn
I witnessed here with you several
winters, summers and rain
And one day you came saying I am 
moving on as there is no gain
I cried and gave several reasons to 
why should we retain
But you were departed and I was in deep 
strain
I sat here for several days so that I can 
attain
That my love was not so volatile and I 
did not complain
The Pretty pink flowers next to the 
bench helped me to contain 
My love is pure and I trust I will meet 
with the ‘one’ who really deserves it
This is my faith, my belief about 
which I am so certain.
