When you've waited not long enough
And it almost seems like weeks.
It smells as fresh as lemongrass
But dried it feels.
You know it's not love
But nonetheless, it's deep.
It's a mystery to seek.
When you want to live it through,
But it leaves you.
It's not easy, loving you.
So you choose to go.
And want me to leave you.
Because its easy to let go
And not easy, loving you.

I let myself be
Who I was meant to be.
Going round and round  in the confusion
I meant to reach a conclusion.
I crossed the valleys and the rivers
I crossed the forests.
I found you in the backwaters
Of my mind.
Somewhere hidden, my happy place.
I needed my space.
I knew you would be somewhere nearby,
Between the crust and the sky.
Very much in my vicinity
But still very far from this city.
O Love, O Peace, be mine.
Let me be the person- I define.
Far from the battle of charades,
Away from the stagnant mirage
Come to me, I take a step to you.
Come find me, I beseech you.
Come to me O Love, O Peace  of mind
I am waiting in the backwaters.
