Unrequited Love

I just can’t believe I was such a fool

For I thought you cared about me

More than anything in the world, as I did

I never thought you would say that you didn’t love me

For I have been loving you for a long time

I have never dreamt of you so many times

Coz you were my ideal

You were the only one I wanted to spend my the rest of my life with

You were the only one I cared enough to wish that we could be together side by side

I still feel confused

You have made me a big fool

For everyone around me knew

How much I loved you, only you

Every day I had to ask my self

Why this all happened to me?

Why did you encourage me if you couldn’t return my feelings?

The only answer I got was the fact that you love some one else

Even then, I couldn’t stop loving you for it’s not in my hand

How could I be so stupid to love another’s?

Why did you leave me without comforting me?

Oh! If I could start back!

If I could turn back the clock!

Then I would have turned it back to the day I met you

I would have avoided like a plague

But I know I always wish the impossible things as I did with my heart

Snail Mail or Email?

mm what a Modern World!  No more Snail Mail? Do you remember the times that you waited for postman to bring you lots of letters? How you waited till you are alone to rip the envelope and look in to the contents inside? Were you excited about just the thought of opening that letter?

Well let me remind you that I was like that. Mmmm how I waited for a letter to come everyday. A letter from a long distanced friend telling me all about her life there. How excited I was to read that all in those three or five pages describing all about her adventures. How much fun I had when I grabbed the pages from my sister, when she got a letter from her friend and ran around the house. But those moments are really gone now. No more post man to come and no more excitement in just opening the letter. Because now we have email! :( Imagine that! A letter that can go to the receiver within seconds. But do you still get the same excitement you got when you got a mail from the post? Do you still feel the suspense of opening the letter as those days? Since Email has a Subject and a preview of the mail, there is no suspense on the contents of that mail unlike before, we have to wait till we open the letter to find out what is inside. mm I miss those snail mail days? Will it ever come back. I still look at my mail box for any letters. Except for some utility bill I see no letters from my friends. Of course lots of utilities companies are trying to convert us to e-bill method and if that happens, no more post! :( Do you know, some years down  the road, one of  our grand grand children might ask you 'Gramps, who is a postman?' wondering if any of use will be able to answer! :(
