For
all these years we have shared times together
Whether
good or bad, we were ever determined to make it better.
Like
those times when we used to walk in the park
Laughing
and giggling or having lunch on the mat.
All
the promises, the wishes and the plans we had for the future,
And
what went wrong?
II.
What
went wrong?
We
did spend time-out with our friends
Laughing through out
without them even knowing why,
It
was amusing and so, looked at us in a funny way
Those
made us laugh the more, muttering together
“Observers
are worried!” So what went wrong?
III.
What went wrong?
We’d
talk at night for hours without talking about anything,
In
particular, Wow! What Prince could
this hither bring?
I
go everywhere with you so far as I was by your side
To spirits of the air, our visions were so
wide:
And
what went wrong?
IV.
What
went wrong?
Or
is it just a confirmation of the saying that
“People
change overnight”. Is it something I said or did?
Or
has our bond just lost its firm grip.
Is
this the end of the road for us? No! Because I just can’t let you go?
I
wish I had a little idea of how to right the wrongs.
V.
How
to take us back to the good old days that
I
still believe is nowhere towards end yet.
I
treasure every bit of time I spent together with you,
Because
they were my very best.
If
only I knew. If only I had the slightest idea what to do.
Then
I guess things would be better
VI.
Ah -it’s meaningless without you.
With all these treasures I posses, it’s
true.
Even though I’m breathing I can’t survive.
And though I’m living I’m not alive.
How do I tell my mind to stop loving
when my heart still does?
I know that we love with our hearts when
it comes.
VII.
But what’s the job of the mind without
the heart
H’m and the heart without the mind?
My nights are sleepless and I’m losing
control,
Oh! I’m tearing apart to see
you go
This feeling is killing my
heart by an inch every passing hour.
I want you back! I want you back to fill
the blank spaces in my life.
VIII.
I still remember those days when I sneak out to spend
time with you,
And
have the kind of joy that only you could give.
I certainly have visions of delight to
hold, to cherish, to lean unto,
To embrace and never let go of you
I need you more than I need myself!
I know it sounds funny right,
but, yeah it’s real.
IX.
That’s how far your absence can take me.
Your rejection, neglect and abandonment is killing me!
I need you to give me back my faith in
humility.
I really do need you back in my life.
Want you back.
