What they Say ..

This is not churned out of my head its just what I read and liked.. and I am sharing it here.
It's a French Poem, though I did not understand French but I read its English translation.. so I am posting both of them, First the French and then the English version:

Les Roses de Saadi

by Marceline Desbordes-Valmore

J'ai voulu ce matin te rapporter des roses ;
Mais j'en avais tant pris dans mes ceintures closes
Que les noeuds trop serrés n'ont pu les contenir.

Les noeuds ont éclaté. Les roses envolées
Dans le vent, à la mer s'en sont toutes allées.
Elles ont suivi l'eau pour ne plus revenir.

La vague en a paru rouge et comme enflammée.
Ce soir, ma robe en est toute embaumée.
Respires-en sur moi l'odorant souvenir


The Roses of Saadi

I wanted you to have roses this morn,
And stuffed a lot of them in my snug dress,
In my tight belt I could not all shoehorn.


The knots gave way, and threw them all around,
To wind and sea they were all gone forlorn
To flow with water, never will come round.


The waves were crimson red as if on fire.
This eve my dress is drenched in their fragrance,
Breathe it and keep it to your heart's desire.

This is about a girl who fell in Love.. We have always heard people say that there is no age for Love and yet there is so much HOOPLA about the Sweet Sixteen age .. and yes She fell in Love when she was Sixteen!


The First time she saw him, she didn't much pass him a second look.. thinking probably another guy on the block to make it big; Never did she know that HE would be the guy of her Dreams.. Somehow she got to see more of him and quite often.. She was not one of those easily impressed by someone and she never believed in Love at first Sight.. but his genuineness made her notice him every now and then.. She got to know that he was very sincere about his career and his work.. (yes, he was working while she was still in school). She started respecting him when she got to know how hard he has worked to reach where he was, how he has fought every odd to prove himself.


She never had experienced such passion and dedication for anything, which made her wonder and see new aspects about life ! It is when someone makes you think a li'l हट के that you get connected in someway.


And then he swept her off her feet with his Charm and magnetism.. Her heart would start racing when he would smile.. She would find excuses to be around him all the time, watching him.. She would always be up and running to have any kind of information about him.. what he likes to wear.. what is his fav dish.. his fav places.. his hobbies... and what not.. Everything about him pulled her towards him.. and He always brought a smile on her face.. She was so "LOST in LOVE", she did not even know herself..


Not all Love stories have a happy ending.. .. The man of her dreams, her First Love... married a beautiful young lady he was in Love with since his adolescence... and went on to have two kids.. She accepted the fate... she is very happy for him and his family... and wishes the very best for them...
But as they say.. A Girl never forgets her First Love.. She still Loves him (but in a different way).
