365 days of ambivalence

 

He watched her as she walked down the aisle

Her flawless countenance looked all the more perfect 

As her nose protruded when she smiled 

She was precisely a self-reliant damsel

She had humpteen reasons to move past his gestures of gamble

But somehow her conscience lurked to leer at them

It was 365 days of ambivalent moves from both the twain

She kept on waiting all the while

That she was destined to meet him in the aisle

But his answers should've made sense 

Everytime she longed for his caress,

He thought "Why should I? "

But she was too reckless to sense that

The future she worried about, 

May be she was never in it. 

It was never about the compatibility! 

Both of them knew where things went wrong. 

And decided not to concentrate on how it ended

But to cherish, how beautiful it budded. 

He thought about how he trampled

Her efforts and feelings, 

But she never gave up the hold of the thinnest string. 

Seldom he imagined, that the thinnest string hold the strongest, but not for long ! 

He wiped off his rolling tears, 

When the groom tied the wedding knots

Deep down he knew that

With his ego and boastful self

He lost a maiden who loved him the most

He left the hall wishing her 

All love and zeal she deserved

Which he failed to shower upon

He asked himself

"Why didn't I? "
