LIKE CINDERELLA

Riding high on happiness

On the wings of love

Fired by passion and

Fuelled by desire….

Forgetting my priorities

Blind to all realities

Living in a daze…. And

Shutting the world out….

Feeling like Cinderella

With her charming prince

Enjoying her moments of glory

And dancing the night away….

Feeling so alive

Feeling so free

Floating in a dream

Knowing it wouldn’t last….

Out of control

And carried away

On a mad, euphoric ride

Leading nowhere…..

Without any ego

Or any pride…

Oblivious to everything

But my love for you….

Until the clock struck

Rudely waking me up…

Priorities crashed in…

Realities returned….

The ride had ended..

The dream had faded…

The world was with me..

Once again….

Cinderella’s hour had come

To go back….

With a handful of memories

To her humdrum life….

Without her glass slipper

Without her fairy godmother

Without any hope of ever

Meeting her prince again….

A few moments of pleasure

For a lifetime of pain

Yet there is no regret

No sense of loss…

Our time together

Was ours alone…

The wild, magical ride

Was ours alone….

My tryst with romance

Was over….

But the ride was worth the fall

The pleasure was worth the pain

If I had the chance

I would do it again…

‘coz loving you is enough

Though I know it is in vain…..
