Love is blind . . .

There's this story of a guy in love with a blind girl I received as an email forward. I had read this story quite a few times earlier. The first time I read it, it was really touching, making me think "does this kind of intense love exist in reality ???". Today I received the same forward again but when I read it now, I didnt feel a thing. It'd lost its essence after being read so many times, so I decided to give it a poetic touch. I decided to rewrite it in my words, my way. The result ? --

I close my eyes, too dark it does seem.
Thinking of her, I doze off to a dream-
-With her head on my shoulder she did cry,
Though I knew, I still asked her the reason why?

"I hate myself for I cannot see",
She cried with feelings of insecurity.
I held her hand and wiped her tear,
"I love you dear, so do not fear".

"I love you too but thats not all," she said
"I want to see the world, like a normal girl", she pled
Her only wish to see, I heard all the while
My only wish was to do something to see her smile.

I woke up all of a sudden from my dream,
"The surgery was a success!", when the doc did scream.
Tears rolled, as I enquired "How is she?"
She ran out shouting "Sweetheart, I now can see"

I groped to take her in my arms, to express my delight.
But fell of the bed, leaving her confounded at my plight.
Stunned, she moved back exclaiming "Oh! You cannot see too!"
"I hate blindness! Im sorry, you no longer are my beau."

A bitter feeling lingered as she walked out on me,
Tears rolled down again, she still chose not to see.
My love for her seemed nothing, my heart now cries,
Wishing she would atleast take care of 'my eyes'.
