The hardest challenge,
The easiest option.
Made me wonder,
About its reaction.
I tried to fix my gaze.
Wore my beautiful outfit that day.
I was about to break a heart,
The same thing happened in the past.
But this time,
I was not the one with a broken heart.
I convinced myself about the scene,
The scene I was about to make.
I made my way towards your group,
I thought I would teach you your own game.
Unlike the past,
I will not cry this time.
For once I considered making a change.
I said hi and you said hey,
We exchanged greetings,
With a smile on our faces.
I was fighting inside,
To let this scene slide.
I thought I was making a mistake,
But when you said you did something bad.
Your next words broke me again.
You said it was a mistake,
I was the reason it happened in the first place.
I turned that frown,
Upside down.
Closed my eyes,
And calmed my nerves.
I released that deep breath.
I was holding for a while.
As I looked into your eyes,
That's when I finally smiled.
I thought I was being a bad person,
But I realized that things happen for a reason.
Now I know I was not wrong,
You were the reason for my pain.
I came to end that friendship,
The friendship which was only for me to keep.
My decision was right.
You were not the friend that made me smile.
I ended things and made a turn,
It was like I had been relieved of a burden.
I felt free after a long time,
I don't seem to be in your cage any longer.
Regardless of what strikes my mind.
You are only a recollection to me,
Which I forgot to remember,
I now carry the laughter and tears I experienced with me.
As I finally know,
The upside-down secret to turning a frown around.
