Who were they?

What people were they who got their true love?

When we desired petals, we got garlands of thorns

When we motioned towards the heights of merry

Why did we only get piles of sorrow?

What people were they who got their true love?

We giggled for a second and felt our luck bloom

We realized we weren't the ones deserving a chuckle

Our love, our life none was our pal...

What people were they who got their true love?

Now we don't desire something new

All our fantasies have come to an end

Demolished our senses; cut the throat of our love

'Cause we know the answer to our every wish

What people were they who got their true love?

Author's note:

There's a song in Hindi: "Jaane wo kese log thy jinke pyaar ko pyaar mila?". It won't escape my mind so I wrote a poem inspired by it.

Hope you like it :)
