one day when i was sitting on my chair
gazing around the nature & breathing some air
i heard someone uttering, whispering & shouting
to my suprise it was my heart & my mind who were fighting.

conversation they had was really intresting
so i kept quite for a while and went on listning.........

my heart shouted at mind saying....dont u have a heart?
how can u forget him so easily, how can you make a new start
the good moments u shared, how can you wipe them away
is this what you call love which ended in a day?

my mind smiled and said...

at times you dont see........ things which are true
today i'll give all answers & explainations to you
i always act rude, i pretend i dont care
i confess that i m fake, its a mask that i wear

i mask myself...i try to be tough
so when you are low i should be strong enough
as i know u r too weak to face such a situation
and i cant see u jump into a well of frustration

i can live with a feeling of guilt for years
but thing which hurts me are your precious tears
ending up everthing in a day is what i try
so later you suffer less...and less you cry....

i know all wounds are healed as time moves on
i wipe memories off so that they are never found
i always rebel.....i m always rude to you
but its simply because i really care for you!
