That moment just froze and suddenly my heart was stolen.
I only remember your eyes again and again,
And, that confident voice apologizing for the crash.
Just a second before, I was sensible and logical,
And since then I am pursuing the impossible.

I don’t know why it happened,
But I had fallen steep down the precipice of love.
I don’t know how to realize this unreachable dream,
Nor do I know how to get out of this sticky depth.

I miss you terribly if I don’t see you a day,
Parting in the evenings is really hard,
Just like the setting sun when the day bids farewell;
I wait eagerly for the morning to arrive.

We never have spoken since then; not even a smile.
You look up, or sideways, or anywhere except me when we meet;
I freeze in your presence and words just melt away.
But, I know you must have heard the music of my heart.
