ONE LAST TIME

The end of school yesterday,
Felt like the end of a lifetime.
I had promised you,
I wouldn't cry...
So, I held my tears back.

I found the strongest boy of the class- in tears;
He pushed me away,
So as not to express himself!
I tried to chill him,
Tried hell lot to be positive,
Tried to tell him-
The farewell was not yet over!!!

A few of the girls-
Exploded as tear bombs,
That didn't matter much though!
It was strangely funny,
But I couldn't laugh.

Amidst the crowd,
It was your face I was searching-
My gaze intent,
Longing to meet you one LAST time.

My pals pulled me to your car,
I refused, but was glad,
They had felt my heart!!!
I deadly wished you to be there.

I found others around your car...
Your damned Fiat Punto,
Friends who hugged me tight,
Emptying all their affection into my heart.
I was heartbroken...I didn't find you.

I remembered how you were in a habit,
Of tormenting me day and night...
I was having reminiscences,
When I don't know how many of them,
Hugged me, pulled my cheeks and said what not!!!

It mattered least to me,

Amidst the crowd,
It was again your face I was searching-
Longing to meet you one LAST time.

Then my bus honked,
And the driver brought out his angry face...
The kids began screaming,
As it was quite late.
I had waited a bit too long for you,
I had been a bit too late to realize,
That you wouldn't come...
That you wouldn't come to me,
ONE LAST TIME.
