Million Dollar Question

Never wished I were a soothsayer,
envisaging what is in store.
Always believed in taking life as it comes.
But today, I feel the pressing need,
to master the art of foresight.
One big Question hangs over my head.
Will it wrap around my neck,
or would it garland me?
Am anxious to know.

This Question goes on a roller coaster ride
inside the vastness of my mind,
and all along, I hope it comes to a halt,
in my favor.
Confusion, fear, uncertainty, hesitation and everything else
that’s part of a roller coaster ride, I suffer.
Would I topple down,
or will I complete the ride with a big sigh of relief?
Am eager to know.

I feel like a lost man,
grappling in absolute darkness,
looking for sight, for light.
As I proceed with my life,
everything seems muddled.
A sense of panic creeps in,
and I carry on unaware of my direction,
in the obscurity formed by this enigmatic Question.
Will I be doomed in this gloom,
or will I see the daylight break in?
Am raring to know.

With the answer to this Question,
lies everything, my life inclusive.
So I can’t be burdened with it for long.
Everything in this world has to come to an end,
be it for the good or the bad.
So am soon going to confront,
meet head on and unearth,
the answer to the million-dollar Question,
“She loves me, she loves me not? “
