I remember the day,
When he came closer to me
and chose to stay,
when I lost a very special person of my life
and heard him say
"Crying makes you stronger, but remember crying always can make you a beggar",
He wiped off my tears and made me sleep,
but i know that night was haunting to him as for him the meaning was deep!
He stood firm and strong
against all odds, he cried alot to his mother
for what he had lost.
He knew no hope can make him happy
as he now need to take care of his family,
Cold he felt but never showed this to anyone,
i have seen him sitting sad on a chair remembering the love that became a burn.
The wounds were burning but he felt cold,
I even remember the first day of my college when he cried but still pretended to be bold.
He takes care of his family, single earning man he is
still he chooses to be happy even when life has shown him what atrocity is.
But I failed him,
for crying for another man who was never in love with me and months this man showed the side of dim.
I begged to a man to love me,
But I forgot to see what he was doing to me.
Still I believed that no one loves me
but my first love from behind was smiling with tears and was quiet,
again he stood strong and firm that he didn't show what I have done to him,
But at last, true love wins,
I went back to my first love and left everyone who pretended that they love me.
My first love,
I'll make you proud
I'll do what you love
afterall there is no other man on this earth
who can take a father's status in a girl's life filled with love.
I love you pappa.
