প্রণয়

There has been darkness in my life.
Misery, pain.
I felt like I could never laugh again.
People laughed about me.
Guys cheated on me.
My parents saw me as a kid and nothing more.
I've been hurt so many times.
I had a couple of বন্ধু helping me.
You were one of them.
A very special friend.
You read a poem written দ্বারা me.
I was talking about suicide.
It made আপনি sad.
Together with another friend আপনি cheered me up.
Tried to give advice.
It helped a lot.
For a while.
You saved my life.
We started talking more.
I talked to আপনি and your best friend.
I প্রণয় both of আপনি guys.
But in a different way.
Your friend was like...

From an যন্ত্রপত্র I got.

THESE ARE ENTRIES TO A WASHINGTON POST COMPETITION ASKING FOR A TWO-LINE RHYME WITH THE MOST ROMANTIC FIRST LINE, BUT THE LEAST ROMANTIC সেকেন্ড LINE:

My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:
Marrying আপনি screwed up my life.

I see your face when I am dreaming.
That's why I always wake up screaming.

Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;
This describes everything আপনি are not.

Love may be beautiful, প্রণয় may be bliss,
But I only slept with আপনি 'cause I was pissed.

I thought that I could প্রণয় no other --
That is until I met your brother.

Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet,...
