Nevertheless I tried.
I tried when as an immature obsessed,
I begged her and touched her feet.
I tried as a matured grown up,
I followed her conspicuously.
I tried each second that I survived without her.
And never did success kiss my way.
Nevertheless I tried.
Nevertheless I'll try.

COMMENTS :
Love requires as many definitions as there are
lovers. There’s a very beautiful song in the film Gupt
(Secret) titled Yeh pyar kya hai (What is this love
nobody has known). Two of its lines are the best that has ever
been written on love. I shall give English translation of those
two lines from Hindi:
Some are there, who, for love shook destiny,
And others who silently died away.
That is, some died for love and some quietly
left the world. Subtle, oh! So subtle the difference- just the
difference of a world. In one case you had everything, in the
other you lacked everything- and only one person defined everything.
And who said two-sided love is love, one-sided love is
infatuation!
