Do you remember the time?

When your eyes sparkled and my eyes twinkled,

I said words and your lips quivered.

You wouldn’t sleep without me at side,

And those steamy nights and the mornings left behind?

Don’t you ever think of the time,

The time, when you were mine?

Do you remember,

The night under the stars?

They whispered, didn’t they?

Can you recall what they said?

And doesn’t your mind gather flashes as does mine?

A collage of the photographs taken over the memories spread in time?

But we have to mature, right?

Don’t we got to let go of the shenanigans at some time!

The thin thread of love can only hold so much,

And each person is different, I get it, I know, right?

You chose you and I us, but that was just me, wasn’t it, sunshine?

You taught me to look at the bigger picture.

And can’t we still feel the spark?

You taught me to put up a smile,

Even in the face of the world being torn apart.

But don’t you realize that we are growing older,

And as every fire, every storm, our love, is getting colder.

Will you continue to hold me now?

That I am down and the breath has put out.

Will you remember to forget what I didn’t say?

Love me for the past when the future seems nay.

Will you shine on me like a ray of hope?

Need not be a diamond, just be around for support.

Will you tell me a lie to ease the pain?

Please do, they tell me the truth is insane.

And tell me – will you hold my hand, take me for a walk?

Its twilight, the song’s getting over, I couldn’t face it to be alone.

he was crying, and she couldn’t figure out why.
in between sobs, the little boy, he wiped his nose clean by.

she asked him what was wrong, why was he crying his heart out all day long?
he said nothing but pointed out to his pencil box,there lay a pencil, its lead broken apart.

she fell in love with this little wonder of life,
and brought in a sharpener, to sparkle the kid’s life.
his mouth went wide when he saw the magic unfurl before his eyes,
his pencil was new again, he could again conquer the demons which cross his paths by.

if only, so simple, could be life.

They wanted to make it work,
Together, as one, for them, nothing else mattered.
They would have loved to stay forever,
Life kept draining the plans in the river.
He exchanged his heart in want of her love,
She served hers on a platter.
But that was summer,
How will the things stand now,
Now that winter has come?

“I thought you understood me for who I am”
“The saddest part is, darling, I thought the same”

You sheltered me from the world,
Made them come real, a dream or two.
Nothing mattered much with you around,
We shared the moon and basked in the sun.

You were my muse and I your artist,
Kissing in places public and plans of plastic,
Looking back, I still remember the fun,
The days of yonder- I can’t help but wonder why we pulled the gun

“I can’t see us killing the love I got”
“You already have, my love, you already have”

The spells were broken and so did my walls.
Holding you close I waited for a dawn,
All I could ever do for you-
Is write you a sad love song.

He was black,
She was white,
He needed her,
Just couldn’t realize.

He was yellow,
She was blue,
All his life he kept searching,
And their life, as paper planes, just flew on by.

The melody is inspired by “Empty chairs and empty tables” (Les Misérables)

There’s a hidden madness in every laughter,
A melancholiness in each song,
There’s an emptiness which constantly follows,
A silence that lingers on.

It’s tough to always be right,
And never be so wrong.
It’s impossible to listen to reason,
When all we ever shared,
Was a sad,
Love song.
