The sky embraced me, air kissed me Earth spread soft petals all over. When you said we were lovers forever You made me feel special, Distinguished me from all the others I thought our love was meant to be And I heard birds singing for me! Your love was like the first shower of monsoon Brought new life and buried all my despairs, You took me in the ocean of love, And promised a relationship which was true and fair. I had trust and faith in you That’s why I always wanted to be with you; You made me feel special Distinguished me from all the others I thought our love was meant to be And I heard birds singing for me! But then one day I saw you with another freesia Making her feel how you once made me feel I saw you both sinking into each others arms; Very much in love, you ignored the entire mien I didn’t understand why you did this to me Tore my trust and faith completely I cried the entire night, and full day in search of the answer And found out that it was not love, for you it was merely an attraction Now the sky’s embrace suffocates me Air’s kiss hurts me, Earth’s soft petals turned into hard pebbles And our love forever changed into a flowing river that stays nowhere I know that our love was never meant be; And those birds will never ever again sing for me. Now when you have left me all alone in the middle, desolated and crushed I have no path, no direction; But I will not take a hop, or control my reaction Because this pain gives me strength; I’ll find new directions and make my own way To reach at a place where there is only peace and no fray. I don’t know whether I’ll be able to love, or trust anyone anymore But it gives me happiness to see myself explore- A new ‘me’, who was misllead somewhere in the ocean of endless nuisance and betray A ‘me’ who is different, independent, a fighter… who will always find her way. « return. |
