READ DOCUMENTS BEFORE INVESTING

I read the entire conversation
From yesterday– Twice.
The first time round was fairly romantic
I felt the nostalgia of 2012.
Then, in my second reading I realised 
How wasted this Sunday was.
Because in some hours
It's gonna be Monday 
And office is gonna start, 
And I too will precariously begin
To wait for the upcoming weekend
Again.

And all through this week
I'll work my way
Up your heart again
So that on a suitable weekend,
I could meet you in person 
And get something nice to drink 
And spend some time together 
And just before the night slips in 
On the way to your home,
Safe and sound
Your head leaning on my shoulder.
And just how it broke your sleep
When I applied final brakes–
My hopes wavering too 
Since the time the WhatsApp text delivery 
Had slyly turned blue.

I miss you, I need you
And a hundred similar pleas 
Are all ready in my verbal infantry
For this corporate law case that's progressing
A little further everyday
And that which is taking love by the lapels 
Fought in a two languages 
One poetry; one law.
Therefore, this deal isn't about loss or win
It is a groovy engagement 
Where you and I will engage regularly
For nothing but pleasance
Derived from scorn and satire
Or maybe because we're bad advocates.
We never read documents before investing.
