Love Today

Once upon a time

he would have waited for eternity

just to get a glimpse of her.

Rebel against the world

to be with her forever and ever.

Once upon a time

she would have braved

path of thorns and

hurtful words of one and all

It all is worth it, she would think

if I can be with my soulmate, my love.

But that was

Once upon a time.

Today…

He thinks he has to choose

between his career and marrying her.

She would be demanding and distracting,

my weakness she will be, not my strength.

Today…

Things she adores in her lover

do not make him an ideal husband material

He is laidback and he is a thinker

He lives in his dream world

it’s not at all real.

Another love story scumbs to the demand of practical realities.
