The Regret

It was a lazy night, and I was stressed out
Listening to the radio play 'love is a game pong'
I had definitely made the wrong choice, no doubt
When a long time back, long ago in the past
For someone, I didn't sing the very same song
How true, I thought
I didn't ping
She didn't pong

Long back I did love that one divine soul
To tell her how I felt was my only goal
Staring at the moon till the night's very end
How many sleepless nights did I spend?

Dreaming about her all day and night
Never could I get her out of my sight
How could any man who saw her forget her?
The twinkle in her eyes filled with hope
Her jet black hair which flowed
Like a cascade of water down the mountain top
The way she nibbled at her food
Everything she did felt so very good.

Those were the days when I loved the rain
I loved to do things from which I had nothing to gain
I enjoyed living each and every second of the day
Without a care in the world, neither the deadlines nor the pay
That's when I realized why everyone craves for love

Love makes you feel complete
Love makes you feel wanted
But I was a fool, not a single move did I make
Only much later did I realize my foolishness
When my heart began to ache

The pain is terrible and I can't sleep at night
This is not similar to the insomnia mentioned before
This one makes your heart go tight
But this is not the kind of pain caused by love
Like most people who have lost love, claim
But this is indeed the pain caused by the lack of love. isn't it.

Therefore I beg of you,
Learn from my mistakes
Coz life often doesn't give you second takes
Away from love, don't shy
Make a move, atleast give it a try
Though all your efforts may go in vain
Realization will dawn upon you that
Love is everything else, but pain
