It's not easy doing this alone,
Is It?

I hadn't imagined I'd be sitting here alone,
Does it bother you too?

Walking towards walking away from you,
Does these thoughts haunt you too?

It's not easy doing this alone,
Why did I think it would be?

Easy it has never been,
But.
I am quite keen
To embrace being a single being.

Bright lights, dark spots
Fitted dresses, eye candy, and power lunches
Abs tight, ***** right, and half-time crunches
I am woman, head high filled with education
Light switch with no model limitations
Thick thighs, slap right but many do not understand the wave of me sea
Or the timing of my laughter filled with jokes of pain behind me
I am woman, filled with education
From past ways
Before me is me
After me is gone, Storm
Will he be the whirlwind that lifts me past life?
Or will I throw my words like jaded knives?
Either way the marriage is to thyself
The one to be true
One Take can turn black to blue
One dove or two
Finalist or finality
One finger or two

Don't get me wrong,
I am happy
That you are out there
Living your dream.

You're out there
Seeing the whole world
Day by day.

I just wish
I was a part of that dream.

An itch in my heart
I'd like to scratch but no one
to rub feelings with

I'm the Toy that never got sold,
Oh God!! I'm the one you had cold ******.

I'm the Bike stranded at the signal,
Oh God! I'm the one figuring out how to be rhetorical


I'm Still riding on an empty pillion,
Oh God! Why am I the one u chose to ***** in the billion?

All I ask from you,
Is some Luck and Cue
As Oh God! I'm the (only) one who forgave you :)


I promise I won't blame you
Again for my blues;
Because My dear God! I'm the one who needs you.


I'm the land that has been for long barren,
Oh God! Do remember even I'm one of your Children

why isnt it normal to be single ,
why dont we talk about being on our own ,
i want to tell each one of you that you are enough ,
you are what you want
you are not incomplete at all ,
you just think you want something more ,
lets change the definition of love,
and term it as continuous growth
we grow we nurture we
love and we care  ,  
and just be okayy with being single
and absolutely fabulous all by ourself .

Your diligence scared me off at first
So focused and intense
No time for anyone else.

But then I met the softer you
The you who listens
Who observers
Who lights up the room

That's the you I liked

Despite what others said about you
I gave you a shot

Maybe I expected too much
But is it too much to ask for someone to feel the same?

They say you're closed off
You can't make friends
You hide behind your work

Though it's all true
I see more to you

I see a driven man
Prepared for the future
Hurt by the past
Weary of new faces
Scared of them leaving you behind,
Alone and broken.
Like before.

I stuck around and tried to get to know you
I endured the awkward silences
The moods you'd get in
And at a certain point
I gave up.

Looking into those blue eyes still makes me smile
I laugh at everything you say, even if it's truly not funny
My heart still flutters when your hand draws near to mine

But I know this isn't right.
Maybe someday, but not today.

You need to grow.
You need to move out.
Find your calling
Try something new

I need to learn to love properly
And grow in myself
And I'm leaving soon.

So here we are.
I see you twice a week, if not more, and try to be your friend.
Sometimes it's easy
But when you talk to a new girl,
My eyes can't help but wander over to you two.

I know it'll just take time
But that's something I'm not good at
Waiting
Wanting
Watching
But here I am.

You kissed to trap
And you kissed good
Tying your lips to mine to make me yours
But I don't trap easily
But with every touch I almost fell to my knees for you.  
But I didn't.
  
"It is either all or nothing. "

You kissed me.  To get me.  
But I am not easily got.  
And I deserve better then you.
