Maai, I wouldn’t have gone this far
Never would have dared to do this
But you weren’t around to guide me
And baba said you won’t return.

Maai, I feel homeless without you
Like a droplet fallen away
From the sea and far from thee
But baba never consoled me.

Maai I never knew the meaning
Of those volcanic emotions
underneath your struggle and smile
But baba never saw your fears.

Maai, you’ve gone away too far
To a place that you deem safe
Where no one knows that you and I
are bound together by fate.
