Misunderstanding

I tried to bring smile on your face,

But brought you frown instead,

I tried to please you with my loving words,

But it brought you displeasure instead.

My pure love had no hidden meaning at all,

But you took me as someone with an evil soul,

I tried my best to wipe your tears,

But ended up refreshing your hidden fears.

I tried to bring back sparkle in your eyes,

Never thought I’d be paying the heavy price,

You misunderstood me every time,

You got me wrong without any reason or rhyme.

If I ever failed to understand you somewhere,

If I ever forgot to take your care,

I don’t even know what wrong I did,

Still for your forgiveness, I beg and plead.

Just refresh the sweet old memories, dear,

It would surely vanquish all your doubts and fear,

Let the distance between us to narrow,

And welcome the new dawn of blissful tomorrow.
