I Forgot, Curse has Always Followed the Boon

It all began when I was a child

Though the feelings were mild

There she came with a big smile on her face

The peach demanded nothing but embrace

When I saw her for the first time

I whiffed, the beauty was that sublime

Everyone always talked about her

One could anytime hear the whisper

As the time went by, she became a friend

But I couldn’t tell what I felt cz I didn’t want it to end

Yeah, I loved that pretty lady forsooth

But, I feared the things wouldn’t be that smooth

I got lucky and she knew what I felt

In her heart too, the same feelings dwelt

But, alas! It was over, way too soon

I forgot, curse has always followed the boon

All of a sudden, she had to leave

And I was left devastated and peeve

I tried to placate myself, it wasn’t the end

But, I moaned for the happiness we did blend

As I grew up and so did the sense

I don’t know why but feelings became intense

I always prayed she would come back

But, the hopes were diminished and I was alack

But, the time changed, and again I got lucky

She messaged me when the things were murky

Everything looked so savouring and bright

Apparently they all were spanned aright

Seemed, it all resumed from where we left

Her feelings and touch were still so gentle and deft

Every time I saw her, I could feel the adrenalin

I got nervous whenever she looked at me with a grin

The things were great, till one day

When a few things started to get in the way

It was all so good, till one noon

I forgot, curse has always followed the boon

Unknowingly but stupidly I put up some fight

And the things started to get tight

Unfortunately I couldn’t understand her devotion

And hence self-triggered the smoke of emotion

I don’t exactly know, how much did I hurt her

But, I can tell, it wasn’t as much as I loved her

I wish if there was a way to make it up for her

I don’t know if I can love anyone, like I loved her

I can’t blame her for ending this up

But, I really wished the things could’ve worked for us

I know I sometimes acted like a goon

Alas!! I forgot, Curse has always followed the Boon
