Man To Man Poem by Lalip Nanda

Listen up guys, listen up close,
What do you think you are upto?
What’s all these gifts and the red rose,
You think this is it, oh! You too.

Forever becomes your favourite word,
and promises your best move.
Don’t you see you are being cut by a sword,
Some one’s trying to shift your groove.

She’ s in your college, then you are done,
May be it’s the time your game is up.
those careless laughter and the fun is gone,
You only wave to life from far, and say wassup? ?

She’s in another town then it is far more down,
You run every weekend to meet her up.
One call you miss she’s gonna frown,
You wanna scream, but you can barely speak up.

You have friends in college, that’s a mistake,
You involve in things, and that the time you waste.
You don’t wanna lie to her, don’t wanna fake,
So, you talk to her even while you ate.

One year goes by unnoticed,
Second year comes up and you are afraid.
All the time you thought you invested,
Is simply crushing down your grade.

Have million break ups, and still have to smile,
You are the one who has to walk the extra mile.
She was the one to go with you down the isle,
But now your relationship is a bit low on tensile.

And one weekend when you stay,
Decide to take rest at least one Sunday.
She says, ”you no longer give me any time”,
“honey I think its break up time”.

You are so frustrated with your own life,
Call your dad and confess.
Could have made a harder strive,
But with the pain you cannot make harder press.



So listen up guys, listen up close,
Its high time to know what you chose.
If there is some one who does not change you,
She is really the one, she is for you.
