Love's labour so lost

It was one rainy evening when I bumped into you,
It was not love that first sight but something about was so right,
With the casual hi-hellos, we embarked on this love trail,
Our initial steps were so shy and so frail.
I never realised when we became an inseparable bond.
We even signed a testimony of this love so divine.
All those nights spent gazing the stars in your companionable silences,
Those chilly wintery evenings with hot coffee in your kitchen,
Those lazy Sunday afternoons reading in the bedroom.
Every moment is a memory etched in my heart....
We had our minor tiffs but it was all ok once you smiled,
And then we sailed into one of the adventures of delight.

One fine day you walked in and said that you don't want me anymore,
You told me that it was nothing but a 11-month affair.
I pleaded with you to give us one more chance.
You said, "Ok, one more month. But you go find someone better."
But I knew then you were gone - far and away from me.
Oh, Flat.12 of Patwardhan baug, I love you so... My love for you is so divine.
I shall walk away if you say.. But remember, you can never walk away from love.
