The one..

I was the one who wiped your tears,
I was the one who swept away your fears...
I was the one who stood by you..
I was the one who stayed true..

I was your support, I was your pillar,
When your life felt empty, I was the filler..
I was the one who supported your decisions,
Even when these decisions went through numerous revisions..

I was the one who loved you so much,
Loved you to the extent, you'd never known such..
But one fine day, when you could finally move on,
I was nowhere in your mind, from your thoughts I was gone..

I was the one who completely understood you,
But you chose someone else, someone you barely knew..
All I could do, was stand by and see,
See you fall for him, fall for him rather than me..

Why couldn't you see that I loved you to the core?
Why couldn't you see that I would have loved you more??
He wasn't wrong for you, but he was a complete mess,
Yet, you were happy with him, happy for less..

And that's when it struck me - I knew what I had to do,
I would remain the friend - the friend who helped you through..
And so I killed the love, the love I had for you,
Just to see you happy, happy without a clue..

Simpler to say...

Try as I might to keep such thoughts at bay,
I can't help but feel that we are moving away,
I know you are busy & so I should be okay,
but we rarely meet or talk, be it weekend or weekday..

I am afraid you don't need me anymore,
Just thinking that makes me feel all sore,
Not that you were totally dependent till the core,
But I wish things would be as they were before..

A time when you used to tell me all your things,
from office to home & even all your flings,
A time when we used to do a lot of talking,
A time when we did a lil bit of walking..

We work in the same place,
But don't even meet face to face,
we live so close to each other,
But we don't even see one another..

I miss all those wonderful times that we spent,
I keep wondering where it all went,
I miss your I-don't-care attitude that was so untrue,
I even miss your crankiness & the NOs that you threw..

Maybe it's simpler to say - I miss you..
