Last Season

Together we dueled and alone you wept,
Deep-down I eked out
Which made me to read your mind.
I asked for your hands
And averred you to have it coming,
Oath taken, but you fell behind –
I couldn’t cope
What was bogging your mind. 
I asked you to be cadged and free your mind –
I just wanted you to be mine.

You realized and then you intimated the fact
Affirmed you then as a credence 
To what you have gone through;
Lightly I then asked for your hand.
You wept for, what you don’t deserve to
And fell down upon my shoulder.

What I deserve was only you
And once you felt
You avowed my heart.

All so far we shared word by word
And you started to smile back,
You raised your hope upon my longanimity
Yet my love for you felt back. 

Sketchy two souls yet intimacy inflated
Muted few moments and dustups uprose –
I heard your confounded voice,
Yet I fenced.
But then again,
I cried, I hoped and I implored
I bade for myself to grasp my heart.
Alone I felt and yet you calmed me
But thronged with fury
I realized, it was too late. 

Left you behind to your own world
Where you said you will be happy - 
The only thing that I couldn’t ceded,
The love that I felt for you could not be regretted.

I left alone once again with memories I cherished 
I smiled with drops of water from my eyes.
Days seemed to me as years,
And time gave up my tears.

You smiled back once again with a new life…
And I kept my promise, I didn’t look back;
You let me go where I settled no-where…
I lost myself leaving behind allegiance desire. 

I stand-alone myself without fear
A dire arouse and I took it as a dare.
I tied up myself and reveled with new aspire…
Yes! I left your memories, and I left it by. 

I heard your voice once again, yet I didn’t fumbled,
Your tears then proved me -
Yes! I can live without you, with no tears,
Yes! I’m living without you, with no fears.

I smiled once again and I started to live afresh
Where I left you behind to your own world
Where you said you will be happy - 
The only thing that I couldn’t ceded,
The love that I felt for you could not be regretted –
Yes! You were my love and you are
But I can live without you, with memories faded.
