goodbye and goodluck

i shall never forget the day we met
fireworks lit the sky

yes i remember the day we met
wasn’t it the fourth of July?

time flew as we explored
and umpteen evenings we spent together
let me tell you my heart’s desire
i want to fetch the moon for you

the emotions were there
but a little confused
the time we spent
was not, with love infused

let us try this novel scheme
you be my best friend
and i shall try to be yours

yes it is novel indeed
cos i have been your friend
but you are yet to be mine

but we must be!
i miss you when you aren’t around
i even make up reasons to come see you

but i might never have guessed
from the way you behave
how would i know the truth
when being a mystery, so much you love

but can you do one thing for me
wait for me while i make up my mind
think of me more than anyone around

how dare you dangle a carrot in my face
of all the confused people i know
you take the cake

maybe nothing else will work out
and before you know i will be back
then we can continue our little jaunt
hold hands and sing Faust

if i cannot be your choice
i won't either be a backup
i hope you will understand
when i wish you "goodbye and goodluck”

Sahi hei Reshmi ji, ekdum hatke eishtyle hei aapka...

More power to such guys/gals who have the courage to say "Goodbye & Goodluck" to their commitment-phobic mates.. It really sucks to be perpetually stuck in a limbo !!
