Can we not go back again
Till when that squire's paint was still fresh
Till when it still looked thin bright blue
Till when we knew not then each one.

Can we not go back again
Undoing our mistakes
Forgetting our squabbles
And retrace again our steps.

Can we not go back again
Spending those lessons learnt
Reading those pitfalls
Filling those dirt tracks on the way.

Can we not go back again
And meet again afresh
Reblooming our bud of bond
Reknowing our flairs and pains.

Can we not relive those moments
Can we not rebuild that closeness
Can we not go back
And start over again?

When I have nothing to do

But to think of you,

I sit alone and do brood.

Like pollen dust wisping in the air,

My mind sets on nowhere.

When the child in me craves for you

How can I stop him asking the moon.

When his dreams are but of you

How can I tell him not to sleep.

With open arms I wait for you

And long to hear from you.

Just tell you love me once.

Just tell you love me once.

Desperation has turned into frustration,

Frustration of not winning her over.

Fantasies have turned into nightmares

An enthusiastic remark gets a cold reply;

A mere shrug is her only response.

Always elusive, never available-

She is fast turning into a distant dream.

Dying for her company, I fear I can't accept her

absence.

But looking back, It had been a good time.

She taught me a new meaning of life.

-A whole new world before me.

My vision has become broader and sharper.

By cherishing the goodness of life

And tasting the bitterness of love,

I came out more stronger from this sweet ordeal.

I felt a tear
As you left for good.
I heaved a sigh
As you are lost for sure.
A deep breath
To help the suffocation
A light frown
To lessen the pain.

Friendships can't be said
When favours are defined.
Liberties can't be construed
As anticipations are unmeant.
When steadfastness is absent
And weariness sets in,
Flicker evaporates
Leaving the soot to remember.
