She had loved him
But she chose someone else
Walked the aisle to someone else
He knew she loved him before she left him
She never said it to him
But it was written all over her face
She met him whenever she was in town
And she never wanted to leave
Even when she knew she had to go
All their meetings stretched
Neither wanting to leave
They’d always want to stay
And then she would drive him halfway home
Coz they wanted to stay
Always drunk on each other’s eyes
Never once touching
Never once lifting a finger
Never once laying a finger
But they didn’t say it
He tried
She said it with her eyes but never with words
He didn’t know what to do
He let her go when she did
And then one day, he got a picture
Of her “forever” guy
He didn’t fall to pieces, he thought that was a closure
But it didn’t end
A decade went by
And he saw her again
Her presence hit him again
As raw as ever
And she now she said she had liked him
Still no mention of love
But she said she was happy where she was
And she said that she didn’t want to fail him
And so she’d left
It was easier that way
Coz she wanted to keep what she felt for him – intact
She had loved him, all this while
Though she was happy where she was
And the knife turned slowly in his heart
Had he known, he would have told her
That he will be her second rainbow, on dark dark days
That he will be her orange flowers against the dull brown roof
He will be her silver lining when the sun didn’t show
And he’d beg her
For her to have him
For her to pick him
For her to choose him
If she let him in on her fears
If she loved him enough to let him in
If she didn’t wait for a decade to tell him that she’d loved him.
