Modern Love

I sent him(my fool of a boyfriend!) a hi,

But he didn't reply,

I started to cry,

Tears fell like rain from my eye,

I thought about all that we had had with a sigh,

About the time he took me out for a lunch of ice and cream pie,

Also, about the time; when just for my smile; he promised to get me the stars from the sky,

It made it harder for me to make my eyes dry,

And Lo! just then; my neighbour; a cute guy,

Concerned, stopped and asked what was wrong and why?

I wiped my tears and thanked him and said nothing was with another sigh!

He shook his head, smiled and said, "You can never lie."

His concern touched me and his smile made me feel like to jump in the air high!

He asked me out for coffee in that shop where there was not a single fly,

I smiled back and thought here it starts again - Modern Love.
