Has it ever occurred to you?
I was the only one for you
One with the love in hand
Ready to give it all away
Ready to fall apart again
Ready to cry in beds again
Ready to give myself again
Has it ever occurred to you?
You let me slip when I was tied to you.

I was Never afraid of thunderstorms
I walked right into them
I walked all over them
I guess I was lucky , “never been hit.”
Until I got my first strike and every bit
Of my beautiful mind and beguiling smiles
Turned into nothing but dust and ashes.
I guess I was wrong back then about the crashes
For Now I wish the storms shall pass
And hope the storms won’t last.
But who am I fooling ?
They shall surely last
And they shall never pass.

For love is undeniably painful yet irresistibly alluring.
Love of all sentiments is the strangest . You can’t resist it . You can’t help it.

I never would've thought I would miss those butterflies in my stomach and skipping heartbeats from my early twenties
Those Sunday morning coffees and late
night talks
Those rusty old cars we drove to strange bars.
I never would've imagined, I would wish to turn back time , to the era where we were still young and fine.
Those Monday morning classes and evening cricket matches.
Those thrifty little rides and we sat
down by the tides.
I never would've thought I would miss that time.

Piece of an old paper crumpled up
Scattered on the road to the dark cliff
And it wasn't enough for the punishment of honesty
It appeared to them as a felony but it was merely a melody
So they walk all over me , leaving me crunched under their feet
Now I live here , here in the rendezvous of weights weighing down on me

Beware,  for  I am sand in your velvet hands
By the beach you found me lying near clear waters
Gathered my flecks on your way to play volley
I was cheerful and in tears, I was finally together in your arms
I adored the way your touch toughened me up for a while
I know that the clock ticks as you play with my shines
Don't let your fingers move apart, don't suffocate my broken parts
And if you may decide to let go of me , let it be forever in the deep blue sea

— The End —
