A year ahead, a year passed by,
The doors are still opened, and the ponds are still dry,
You did say you loved me, you did say goodbye,
Our irrevocable commitments proved promises are a lie.

Its the night recalling the showers in the springs,
And the weekend waltz to the attuned strings,
You revolve around me today, with your name engraved within,
Stop hiding from me, so long where have you been?

But for a second i believed..
As the gush of wind whispered your name,
The clock is ticking beside our picture frame,
You're flowing like the river,in your gown , camouflaging blue,
Lined up a lot of work, I still got seconds for you.

To be the reason you breathe

Your every thought
Your every dream
Your purpose in life
Would be the reason I breathe

To be what makes you believe

Your reason for living
Your reason for smiling
Your motivation for existing
Would be what makes me believe

To be the one you depend on

Your rock when you need to lean
Your shoulder when you need to cry
Your soft place to land, when life's too hard
Would be the only thing I could depend on

To be the one who helps you feel strong

Your innocence when it doesn't belong
Your heart when yours breaks in two
Your soul when it's shattered too
Would be what makes me feel strong


**and of all these things
To breathe and believe
To depend on, to feel strong
I only need you
To feel that I belong

In That Moonlit Night Standing In The Abaft,
Watching The Towed Flaccid Wooden Raft,
I Thought That I Saw An Angel Resting,
Lying Exhausted There In That Craft.

I Call The Girl Out Unbeknownst Of Her Kind Name,
"Hey Young Lady!!" To Which She Didn't Much Respond,
She Looked Up Towards Me Once In Anguish & Collapsed,
I See Desperation In Her Amber Eyes & Resolve To Help Her.

The Crewmen Had Now Been Doing The Paddles After Resting,
I Summon My Captain & Ask, "Do You See That Girl In The Raft?"
The Senile Captain Smiles To Say, "Commodore, Better Get Married,"
I Look Just Clueless To Which He Simply Replies, "There Is No Girl."

True He Was As She Had Simply Disappeared,
I Started Thinking Of My Sleep Needs That Day,
I Looked Around Again In A Hope To Find The Girl,
I Had Compromised My Routine As The Commodore.

Then I Immediately Realized It Was My Wild Phantasm,
Now This Was Just A Plain Illusion Of A Tired Sailor's Mind,
No Mermaids Could Have Ever Existed In Reality & Were Fake,
I Turned Towards The Deck To Go Back To My Bunk For Sleeping.

As I Climbed Down The Stairs To Enter My Room Amazed & Dazed,
I Saw Her Standing And Waiting For Me By The Side Of My Bunk,
I Accepted That Delusion Of My Mind & Started To Lie Down,
She Said, "I'm As Real As Your Thoughts, Don't Fear Me."

She & I-Me & Her, Had The Best Time That Night,
In The Morning She Was Gone & Was Just Gone,
Disappeared Into Thin Air While I Was Asleep,
Each Day I So Dearly Long For Her To Return.

Sometimes the truth is hard to find,
A little bit of trust, eats a bit of your mind,
I run over rocks to feel the pain,
Let it rain, don't seek, no gain.

Only for a moment I stopped to look back,
For a smile on my face he left me years back,
His hands were comforting, his voice was deep,
Love ran on his face, love literally did reek.

It's all hazy now, didn't break no trust,
I was his, and so was my lust,
Lies and darkness he endowed upon me,
Where was his love flying, all so suddenly?

I tried to figure, solve, what triggered,
I tried to detach, but my happiness withered,
Used ways and means to leave him behind,
Couldn't help myself but look back, in hindsight.

Every imposition was suddenly revoked,
Felt free, with no hope, a bit choked,
What was I doing? What was I? So mad?
In the end it's my life, what makes me glad.

I won't do this, I won't do that,
Hell of a rebel, I had in my hat,
I wasn't going to fall, not again,
Somehow my heart beat wasn't the same.

This new life, then held my hand,
Only to make me understand,
Just two of us, no needs, no demand,
Here we are, here together we stand.

Different as it was, I could look in his eyes,
Fun things we did, everyday is still a surprise,
No false promises, no space for lies,
Wonder how he makes me feel this confident and shy!

Would I walk a mile again? Heart's been through a lot,
Will love get back, with no hate in plot?
I have everything, as much as I need,
Just need some love, don't have to beg or plead.

*Let love happen again?
