Young love, sad but true

You thought it was the happiest day of your life
When you saw the man of your dreams
Smile and look at you intensely
Your heart skipped a beat
And you felt unable to breath

He asked for your number
And you mumbled as you wrote it down
He called and 
You met up with him

Since then it’s been a roller coaster
As time flew past
Like scenes from a film
Lessons and studies forgotten
As you bunked of to meet with him

The one day you saw him by chance
In a park
With another girl
He saw you and tried to come to you
But you didn’t want to know
So you outpaced him

He called and filled your mail box
As well as many texts
With explanations
That she’s nothing and you’re the only one

You forgave him
And
Swallowed your pride
Although he’s taking you for a ride
You know it deep down
But you frown
And ignore your better judgment
By giving him another chance
But he will dance
Around you again and again
Coz once a player always a player
Until his ideas and viewpoint to life change
And he stops acting deranged

He’s a follower of society
Where fornication and impropriety
Are the norm
The more women you have on the go
The more you are rated
By those who are sedated
On freedom and living life to the max
Wasting their youth, time and money
And think those who follow religion are sad and funny

You thought you could change him for the best
Date him and let love do the rest
But he won’t change yet
Coz he thinks he’s young, free and single
And able to pull and mingle
With as many women as possible

You’re just a small part of his life
Not yet his wife
So why should he stay faithful
Truthful
And follow Victorian and religious values

Your friends warned you
But you didn’t listen
And you miss him
And think the worst
Especially when his phone rings
And texts start coming
And he sings
A lie of a story to you
And tellsyo u how much he loves you truly
And that the others mean nothing
Swears by Allah
Although he’s far
From a practicing believer

As time moves on
The emotion known as love subsides
And you realise
That you were wrong to think he was the one
For today, tomorrow and the future
You see thorough his web of deceit
Lovely words without meaning
And finally see what a filthy creature he is

You thank Allah for guidance
And opening your eyes and
Removing the spell
To see things clearly
That he only loves his desires dearly
And if you follow his ways
Satan might as well be your lord and guide
And companion on the last day
