Not Another Love Story...

Once in a land faraway,
There lived a sweet frail she-goat
She went by the name of Boobot.
Now Boobot was a very romantic girl
She wanted a life of romance, with all its frill and curl
So, she waited for her perfect he-goat
Someone who would keep her dreams afloat.
While all around other she-goats found their mates
Boobot with her expectations, all she did was
Wait and Wait and Wait !!

Then one fine day came the goat of her dreams
Her he-goat in shining armour, fulfilling her whims.
Both loved one another from the first look
Promising to be with each other through every corner and nook.
Dumbot was his name, and he loved Boobot a lot
Together they tied a beautiful love knot.

Both were very happy, but there came one problem
Boobot was very demonstrative in love, Dumbot was not the same!
Boobot wanted the love pledges and praises
But to Dumbot all these were confusing like mazes!!
He tried to make her see that he was not like that
But whatever he did, it just made her more mad.
She nagged, and cried and acted queer
But nothing could make the problem disappear.
Her nagging made him m0re and more sad
But he continued loving her and never got mad.

Then came a day when Dumbot couldn't take it anymore
He was tired, lonely,irritated and sore
He still loved her and she loved him
But the love no longer was the rosy little thing
It had gone bitter due to her big expectations
Nothing was left to this once beautiful relation.
Thus, they parted ways with heavy choked hearts
Wishing they could be together, but knowing that it was too hard.

Dumbot gone, Boobot roamed alone
Crying and wishing that she was never born!
The best thing she had, she had driven it away
"Please bring him back" was all that she could now pray.
But a treasure once lost cannot be found again
And thus, she carried this heartache like a bane.

Years passed while she stayed all solitary
Lonely at heart, all her emotions inside her buried.
She wept at her own stupidity and fanciful whims
Which had cursed her own happiness and her dreams!

Then a long time passed and Dumbot came back
He wanted to try and make things work
Boobot was overjoyed and couldn't believe her luck
She apologised and realized she had been a complete dumb duck
Dumbot smiled and hugged her tight
They made up and kissed all night.
They lived happily ever after..
But they had learnt an important lesson
And this is what they quoted to every other goat:
Love for love's sake and don't impose on your lover
Don't try and give him a complete make over.
Your dreams and your wishes are important
But also learn to compromise and to relent.
God gives you one chance in true love
Don't mess it up with your crazy nerve
'Coz once you lose it, you don't regain it back
All that is left to your life then, is bleakness and black.

And thus, ends the meeting story of Boobot and Dumbot
Another day i will tell you other anecdotes from their love-lore
Till then, let this small story teach us all
To love a person for what he is,
And not make a fuss to change,big or small..
