gone. Everything about her was perfect She was a gentle falling snow And I was the scorching summer She was a flower I did not allow to grow She was the lightning and I, the thunder I was but an echo of where she was A follower of the words she said T hen I defiled her heart made of glass She still stood firm, but I was left dead She was the warmth of the sun T hat I wasn't allowed to keep as mine For she was already someone else's And I was just for passing the time Truth is, I never had a chance W hen she was my whole world I must not have mattered, not even once

life’s greatest trick . Surrounded by what it seems to be a hurricane I was just a drizzle To be everything was what I ever wanted to gain But as I step forward, life was not so simple
T he world has so much to offer But you held me up and asked to stay forever I wanted to explore and go with the wind “Together” you said, from that I knew I was pinned
I went away towards the East W hen I was free and was ready for all the risks T here I saw buildings and temples, ancient and gold But still my eyes were searching for you
Clearly for me these feelings are just a phase So drawn by beauty of “ W hat ifs” You have set out plans with no room for changes Unaware of these things in life could easily drift
Your love is so strong and it makes me weak Right person, wrong time, life greatest trick! Yet we’re still so young. So go, leave If it’s really me for you, I’ll be back soon

cries of today Today, I will cr y with the falling rain With my sobs as loud as the thunder. My tears will flow over my cheeks — A river of sor row no one would wander.
I remembered you as the lightning striked, And memories came crashing through. You came into my life as a great stor m — A huge relief; a beautiful disaster, too.
I will weep no more when the time comes, And I would finally mend my broken heart. I know someday, I would finally realize That darling, we were meant to be apart.
