Forgive me.

I have committed a mistake,

I have broken a promise.

I have let YOU down once again,

I have hurt YOU time and again.

And there is no reason YOU should forgive me,

There is no chance to let it be,

‘Coz I have hurt YOU once more,

I have been a lonely looser like never before.

I know YOU will walk away from me,

YOU wont love me the way it had always been,

And I have no reason to wish that YOU stayed,

‘Coz it me and not YOU who has strayed.

Here I am wanting YOU to give me another chance,

A chance to mend my ways and do what I should have done,

A chance to love YOU the way I should have always done,

A chance to bring back the old days, relive the charm.

I know for sure I may be a lone soul from here on,

I may trip over, hurt myself all along.

And I might not be able to pull it through,

For I realize I am nothing without YOU.

Now I am down on my knees once more,

I hope YOU stay back and don’t exit the door.

I hope YOU forgive me and give me another chance,

A chance to be better, more true this time!

*Dedicated to the LORD.

Happy Birthday!

I may be the last person to wish you happy birthday,

And I know I am late by quite a few days.

But all I wish to tell you is this ain’t the reason to say,

‘Coz I saved the last and a bit more just for today.

I thought a lot about what I could get for you,

Browsed through shops and galleries thinking of you.

But I couldn’t find anything as true as you,

So, I summed it up in words only for you.

Now, here I am penning down a few thoughts on you,

Hope it adds up for the moments lost, like the way I do.

And it brings smile on your face and gives warmth to you,

For I wish to make this day memorable for you.

So I wish happy birthday to you,

Wish all your dreams come true.

May God bless you,

And you find someone as special as you!
