The Chase..!!

Panting along the road, as he stood to catch sum breath,
The scene before him resulted in almost certain death.  

Missing her by 'that' much, he abused the flat tyre,
The tail lights of the (departing) bus shone like a fire.  

Grimly holding his face, sat in a corner on the (bus)stand,
Today had been exactly an year when the love-story began.                 


Taking the same bus to college, they met on a fateful day,              
She forgetting her purse, he was more than eager to pay.                 

Apart from the pleasantries, she had a glint in her eye,               
Dumbstruck by her beauty, our Romeo begun to fly.                

Gradually as the trips increased, so did their bond,               
He quickly fell in love just waiting for her to respond.  


After an year of struggle, finally mustered the courage to propose,
Though, missing the bus today, his heart took a thousand blows.  

Suddenly, a girly figure, emerged from behind the wall,
His mouth let out a quiet sigh, staring at his Doll.  

As if destined, she had a premonition of his inner will,
Ignoring the Richie Richs, she chose him for the thrill.  


Comprehending the above episode, I've started to feel,
It Ain’t about the money, determination is enough to seal the deal..!!
