He is known for for his greatness
And for everything he is
He seems to have the knowledge of the world at his fingertips
He walks as if to triumph every day and night
And works under the lamps to bring all his dreams to light
He is humorous, he is smart
Highly intellectual and full of art

And then one day

Enters a beauty
Has all the girlish charms
She has no dreams and has no goals but has what it takes to make them swarm
Head over heels he falls in love
And swears to follow her to the other world
This highly intellectual turns blind
And for her he shuts his mind
He works under the lamp now to look for ways to impress
He desperately wants to make her notice and she becomes his only stress

Then comes a day
She runs away
Breaking the master's heart
He thumps, he cries
Cannot believe this lie
Even looks for ways of suicide
He shrinks away even at her mention
And drowns into pools of depression

What happened then, you ask?
Ahhh
Fast forward two days
Enters another girl
Dreams come back and so does color
The old sweetheart is forgotten
he's back on feet
to fall again
At once his days turn from blue to green
You see,
I was talking about a boy at 16!
This is not to demean girls. Please don't take it that way.
To Shivani, thank you for this amazing title :-*
