Who Was To Blame?

Everything was just fine

I stick to my plans

I won't be bothered by anyone

I was fine


You came into the picture

You made me deviate from my plans

You made me choose things I would never have

You made me see the beauty of ruined plans


I was planning to cage my heart in

I won't let anyone come close

I won't let anyone creep in

But then, you did


You slowly melted the frozen cage

The winter's gone, and the spring has come

A flower started to grow in my heart

It was a beautiful feeling and I was fine


You watered that flower with your affection

You kept it warm with your sunny smiles

It was fun, it was lovely, it was exhilarating

I am joyful, giddy and I feel alive


But then, I won't let you see it

I kept it confined inside the walls of my pride

I won't admit it then

That inside my heat, love is growing at an unprecedented speed


But grey clouds are always lurking on the horizon

The time has come for you to remind me that nothing lasts forever

Your once gentle stare turned into a questioning look

Your quiet responses speak a thousand words more


Your warm smile turned into a cold tight line

Your affection turned into indifference

You got tired trying

You spent your time breaking away from what you've started with me


You looked the other way

And there you see someone who returns your love

I was flabbergasted, I was left hanging

And I wasn't fine


One day, I begged you

I asked you what was wrong

I said sorry because I don't know what to say to bring you back

I wasn't fine without you in my life


But you kept me at arm's length

You said you're okay, I have nothing to apologize

I looked at you in the eye after a long time

In your eyes, I wasn't fine, but you are. You are fine


You saw the tears trickling down my face

You said don't cry, it is going to be alright

You gave me your hanky and told me to wipe my tears

When you said that it's going to be alright, I cried even more


How could you say that?

When you are the one who made my life more than alright

But now you are leaving

How is it going to be alright?


They say that people try to look for someone to blame when they get hurt

There's only you and me

It is either you or me

Is it going to be me?
