The least you could have done
is get me flowers
Its my b'day today, dear
And you forgot that, I fear
No sweetheart I came early
Cancelling all my meetings
just to spend the evening
holding hands and expressing all my feelings
Ha! how do I know you remember
Its our anniversary today
Show me your pocket
Not even a bar of chocolate ?
But honey thats why I hurried
In this rain and wind
To be by your side
And feel the magic of the night
Today as you stand there holding chocolates and flowers
with a guilt in your heart
I feel like rushing to you and ruffling your hair
whispering " darling you are the best , I swear"
I wish I had enjoyed those moments
filled with love and trust
To hold your hands is what I crave
But flowers is all I get on my grave
Take Care,
Wow! Kavita mein twist! Beautifully done!
