Requiem for a lost love

The first time I saw you, I was enamoured.

Captivated, hooked and totally enchanted.

Visions of long drives on wintry afternoons,

In sunny lanes and rainy alleys;

They filled my head and made my thoughts fly.

Dreams became reality as time sped by.

Seasons changed and so did we.

I took you for granted, but you never once complained.

Maybe I thought that your charm wore out.

Other things assumed more importance.

That elusive spark, the romance was gone.

But i loved you more than ever.

The indispensable, reliable, sexy as hell you.

But life happened.

We took a break, called it quits for a while.

I went out, partied, lived the good life.

You wept silent tears, and waited in vain.

Time, they say is a great healer.

I rushed back, eager for solace in your arms.

You were not there.

You were someone else's possession now.

Maybe it was all my fault.

I should have paid you more attention,

Tried to cure you of your afflictions.

I see you everywhere now,

In the streets, the parking lots.

I almost rush down to claim you back.

But you are not mine now.

You've left me all alone, bereaved and miserable.

And bicycle-less.

P.S These lines are about my bicycle..a blue Razorback(sigh..) which got stolen in the summer hols when I was in Mumbai having fun. I am not a nutcase. I wouldn't publish my tale of woes in a forum as public as this. :D
