Asked Me Once

By Joyal Gupta

If you just asked me once,

I would have stayed.

Only if you chose to hold my hand,

But you never made that mistake.

I believe when they say-

You can't feel love,

If you haven't once been betrayed.

The days when I seethed in storms,

Aren't the ones I hate.

I have seen worse,

But honey, it hurts to get betrayed.
