The only time I had had *******,
I now remember fully each detail,
She had told me to get off prematurely.
The girl was on the defensive mode,
I perfectly remember how she fumbled,
She was nervous if I emptied my load.
The way she requested me next day,
I can remember it with bittersweet hue,
She said, "Don't marry anyone else."
The fate had wished something else,
I met with a really serious road accident,
She used to visit me then in the ICU.
The injured me was in a comatose state,
I was told that she often used to visit me,
She surprises me as a guardian angel.
The injured me could remember it not,
I was looked after by the dark angel how,
She wiped forehead sweat from fever hot.
The surgeon in charge of my treatment,
I was told by him as well of how she cared,
She used to summon him oftentimes.
The girl told my mother about both of us,
I was just her best friend she told my mom,
She named my ex- as my then girlfriend.
The girl asked me on phone desperately,
If I could remember about the Agra trip,
She was just disappointed with my reply.
The girl is now married to someone,
I had killed the relationship between us,
She knows not I remembered it not.
Perhaps I should accept it now,
I would have to be alone forever,
Now that I remember all of it.
