“I’m fine”, he said with a smile extending from one end to the another.
Little did they know, what was brushed under the carpet,
Little did they know the effort put in to pull off that smile and
Little did they know, that the smile
Was just an effort to keep people away from his life.
He still cared as if she mattered to her the most
He still loved as if she was the only one in the world
Even when he knew, it was not meant to be
Even when he knew, one day she will walk away
Even then he said – “No she is not using me”
He tried to look ahead
He tried to walk ahead, with a strong face
Because no one picked him up
Because no one wanted him to get up
Because he was still waiting for her hand to pull him up
“I see her.
I see her right next to me
I see her smiling right back at me
I see her standing in front of me
With him, instead of being with me”
He took steps to find that love again
He made efforts to fake that smile again
All he could do was pick up the pieces
All he could do was walk away
All he did, was close his eyes
Tears trickled down, holding the pain
He looked up with his moist eyes
“I’m really fine’, he grinned once again
