Happy happy birthday !!
You sang
With double happiness on her birthday
A day that you wait for, every year.
Just to bring a smile on her face
Giving her all your love, time, sleep
Like the way you always keep her happy fulfilling every wish and dream of hers
From temples to hill stations, you've celebrated her birth everywhere.
A 'formal wish' or 'no wish' is what you gave me instead
Despite calling me your girl and her your friend
You were busy making and fulfilling her wishes
Your 'I missed you every second' were only in words
As the whole world saw the reality through your actions
You gave me materialistic gifts the year you wished
which were as materialistic as your love
But your true love was all that I ever wanted
It was too late to wish for though
As you had given yourself and your love to her already
Don't know how useful your other gifts were,
But all I know is that you gave me that one big gift
That I treasure every single day and every milli second
You gifted me 'myself'
Which was
A gift of self- realization
A gift of self-love
A gift of self-reflection
Through your gift,
I got back my lost self
Which was lost in your love
Got back to my senses
With an understanding that you were no different
Realizing that you loved your ego more than me
Got back peace
Peace from the constant chattering of the mind
Which kept dreaming about our future and Finding ways and means to keep you happy.
With the gift that you gave,
Made a pact with myself
To love myself more than anybody else
To never let a man closer to my heart
And to never love you again...
All I'm left with to say is a 'Thank you'
For your gift to me on 'Her birthday'!
