Leash of life

You kept putting to another day...
saying we have enough time to make a life
Slowly, I saw the lines
were fading and so was your demeanour

First, you thought we wouldn't get
the folks to nod
Then you felt I deserved someone better
(A great way of saying 'look elsehwere baby')
Now, you wanted that things should settle
And again you had a cribbing or two
About how I always seemed to doubt
your intentions terming every
relation as a liasion...

I looked at happy couples
and thought may be this was
what we would soon be like...
arms in arms, love in eyes,
gestures of warmth all the time -
stuff from Mills and Boons

Lost in thought... you left me behind...
And complained that I couldn't keep up
I rushed to you on all fours
Panting, keeping in pace...
Nodding when you pulled the leash
and tail between my legs...

A new leash of life you gave me!
