Every day I saw her in the mall.
Having worked there six months,
I sure know her well.
Her boyfriend picks her everyday.
And they have a place called home.
She has the perfect life, obtaining everyone’s jealousy.
No wonder I have when I see,
A twinkle in her eyes.
A redness on her lips, blushing of the cheeks.
No wonder I have when I see,
A love bite she hides.
Every day for six months,
I wanted a share,
In her happiness.
Every day for six months,
I needed her secret for happiness.
I asked her, Oh! I asked her many times.
But no reply I got, none but a smile.
Once as usual, mesmerized by the love bite.
I was looking at her slender neck.
The tiny little blue bruise let me to a slash.
Which was passing through the collar bone,
And visible at the back.
My shock I could not hide,
From the pretty young damsel.
She asked me with a quizzical look.
Nothing from me but a finger at the mark.
She smiled, and said to me.
“You asked me my secret.
But you found it yourself.”
With that she went past,
Leaving me alone, aghast.
