Alone

 Tonight, I’ll not cage my fear

And probably wish that you were here

So I could tell you how I feel

Because life has just made me kneel

Oh how I loved my cheek against your lips

And those hour long city-wide trips

Your touch never lost its shine

Back when life and fate were doing fine

Maybe you were the cage

Keeping the door to my fears close

I guess I’m still too young in age

To do all of it alone, I suppose

 

Oh how I wish my ears would be blessed

Listening to the heartbeats in your chest

Today, that life has turned upside down

I wish I could still have you around

Have to live without my soul, I don’t know how

If you were here, I could really use a hug right now

Maybe ours was the story He wrote on sand

And the tide comes and washes it away

Where unaware spectators just walk hand-in-hand

And believe that things would be okay.

 

About love and emotions they talk much

But they don’t tell you a lot about physical touch

Because my heart will carry a piece of you indeed

But who would I go to when I’m in need

When I’m scared or excited, whose arms would I hold

Looking back at today, this is the story untold

 

Life will soon go on, it has its own ways,

But all the days that follow, would be unremarkable days

Be it your room or your car, or our spot near the lake

When I remember you, I’ll have that heavy heartache

He who writes our tales should give us more time

Ending stories so abruptly must be a crime

You would want me to go with my life holding my hand

But where once you stood, how could it stand

I won’t hold you up, I hope you find bliss

Wherever you are, I hope you’re seeing me like this.

To those clueless spectators, I hope you consider

Time, love and touch are castles in sand, and nothing is forever.

Worth the wait

There came that blest afternoon
He had reached there a little too soon

Not too many souls inside that mall

Under the banner, he was waiting for that call

The clock struck two fifteen

There she was, standing like a queen

Or a princess, that’d be modest

Somehow he had passed this first test

They ran up with feverish haste

He asked her what she would want to taste

He ignored the months and months of endless tries

Cause he could feel his stomach full of butterflies

He thought to himself if she could feel it too

Whatever it was, his dream was already true

Somewhere within he thought, “Would you settle my fear

When will you say what I want to hear?”

Gradually he realized it wasn’t words that he needs

For her it was action, not phrases that leads

Her smile, her laughter and the way she flipped her hair

He noticed these things, cause they were those that were rare

Roaming, dancing and eating from the same plate

These were all the special things that festooned their non-date

He knew all of it came a little late

But he wouldn’t dare say it wasn’t worth the wait

Again

 I'd like to dream about you tonight

Just so that we could be together for some time

Just so as to see your smile

Just so I can hold your hand

And you could hold mine

All night we could look at the sky

Unlike the first time, we'd not be shy

I could talk to you as much as I may

And listen to your soothing voice

And fall deeper in love with every word you say

Again

It would still be a dream, no doubt

At least we'd be together in it throughout

Never thought that this would be the case

But in fact, a dream is the only place

I can hope to see you

Again

This feeling, it's complicated

I'll probably never be able to explain

I have no idea how you feel

Whether you miss me, or want to love me again

Or whether you wanted to be together for real

Again

Just like all dreams take time to come true

I bet this would, too

But if you feel the same as I do

And if you want to dream about me too

Trust me, we'll never have to just dream

Again

It changes

It changes:

I'd write my love on an empty page

And hope what remains flies into your range

Never thought we would reach this unfortunate stage

Isn't it crazy how fast people change?

What was it like, waking up one day

And not feeling the same about me and you

I didn't think I'd never get to have any say

I kept hoping that conversation just wasn't true

You weren't sorry for what you had done

You were sorry for what you were about to do

I was shocked to see what you had become

I hope no one ever does that to you

I hope you never know my kind of pain

Never know the feeling of getting your heart slain

By the person who meant the most to you

But I don't hold you guilty

I know what you have been through

Not all of what we had belonged to thee

Some part of it perhaps belonged to me too.

The Next Guy

I really want to know

What you'll tell the next guy about us
Were you happy, was it memorable
Or just another avoidable fuss

The conversations that we had
Would you have the same with him
Would he treat you the way I did
Although the chances are slim

The songs that we shared
I thought they belonged to me and you
I've kept them so close to my heart
Can't see them belong to you both too

I still don't know what went wrong
Was it me? Was it you? Or was it fate?
I hope I gave you some memories
That you'll recount on your next date

If he's better than me,
And he treats you the right way
Then when things aren't alright
Be with him and ask him to stay

But if he isn't, and you feel
You can't hold your relationship strong
Don't come back to me 'cause you lost me when
You felt what we had was wrong

Peace of my heart

 Peace of my heart:

A piece of my heart still stays with you
Just how a piece of you stays with me
I cherish it, protect it, love it too
But if you want I'd set it free

Was it too childish to behave that way
Was it stupid to expect that you'd stay
I'd want to say something if I may
Not being 'forever' is also okay

Maybe we'd never know how we'll feel
Maybe time wouldn't let us truly heal
Maybe alone I'll cry for you
I guess one day you'll miss me too
When the clock with hit three
And it would be that time of the afternoon
Maybe then you'll be reminded of me
And wish it hadn't ended so soon

Oh and we still have a pending date
Even that date sounds like a distant dream
Sometimes it's just the players' fate
that they're better off without the team

For the peace of my mind, I'd let go of the piece of your heart
I know for sure it won't be easy
Because we knew one thing since the start
It was always meant to be you and me.

Can you just stick with me?

(Hope you all like this one, this is one of my personal favourites) 

Saw my best friend the other day
Staring at his bride-to-be
Didn't know you were in town
But I knew you wouldn't talk to me

Was it too wrong to think of 'us'
We could be a thing, couldn't we?
You left me on my own and I kept trying
To figure what was wrong with me

I remember the day I asked you out
In a tux, down on one knee
I bet the Gods watched from above
And blessed that month of February

It's been a while since I saw that smile
When we used to sit on that garden chair
I missed your charm and I missed your jokes
And I miss messing up your hair

But who would I tell my story
Because I knew I needed to be
out of love just like you
Or just hide my emotions in me

You said we were soulmates
We'd support each other and be clingy
You didn't do justice to that word, love
'Cause you chose to simply leave me

Did you want a Prince Charming?
I could be him, if the need be
Are you ready to give that chance
With or without love, but to me?

Saw your eyes that day
Attractive yet restless, searching someone at the party
Knew you were looking for me, and I wanted
to shout as loud as I could, possibly
"I am a human in love too you know,
So can you just
stick
with me?"

Blushing to myself

 I just crossed my darkest nights

when I had blinded eyes
I couldn’t see you
But now that days were bright
and I didn’t need the light
carried by you
I noticed the smile on your face
After our little childish race
finding time for ourselves
my heart was an empty space
for long and lonely days
you know, I kept blushing to myself

You always had all figured
and still never got triggered
by the shit that I said
But by the end of that day
when I had found my way
you wrote a letter that read
“I need to walk a mile
Don’t let go of that smile”
Just gonna think about yourself?
For long and lonely days
My heart was an empty space
But I kept blushing to myself

I thought it was your turn
to enjoy, but you didn’t return
and scared the shit out of me
I thought it would be wise
To just forget your voice
and set you free
Down the lanes of memory
I still remember your charm
Why you left is a mystery
Tell me, did I do you any harm?
You can walk your meters
but the world is full of cheaters
just take care of yourself
For long and lonely days
My heart will be an empty space
I’ll continue blushing to myself

A few moments

For a few moments, I forgot all the pain

Wasn’t your face or your voice, but your words that hit my brain
For a droughted life, you came as rain
Oh how I could live those moments again and again.

Looked for the sunshine, never to be found
I realized it was time to rise without bounds
Lying, after every struggle, when I would look around
Even your voice would excite me, of all the present sounds.

The memories, they are neither long nor too short
But just lovely enough, captured in my heart
Tears here, smiles there, but love since the start
No matter how distant we got, never let us apart.

Yes, without you, days would be harder to cross
But there’s got to be a win, after such a loss
Sometimes, all we can do is hope for the best
Keep faith in our love, and forget the rest.

Even today, when I look at our beautiful pic
I realize there wasn’t anybody else I could pick
For a few moments, I again forget life’s harshness
Not your face or your voice, but our love sweeps the darkness.

The Junction where we parted

 Oh how oblivious was the wind

To the feelings we were going through
When I was about to get started
From the junction where we parted.

I had waited for you all night
'Cause I wanted to cherish the momentous sight
Two beautiful minutes of sunlight
And then the train darted
From the junction where we parted.

I had believed I wouldn't miss you much
After all, we would surely stay in touch,
But the pain had already begun
As our relationship dusk-ed like the sun
I was happy, until your thoughts in me bombarded
When I left the junction where we parted.
