Choice

Choices define destiny.
My choice is to see you smile.
Then why do I feel so empty ?
Why dont I want to walk that extra mile ?

Somewhere along that path,
our two shadows will be reduced to one.
you will no longer be within my sight,
and I will want to run.

To run to where you are
To run from where you are.
I will probably just stay still,
trying to keep some sort of control on my heart

I want to see the flowers,
that bloom on the other side of this wall.
But scaling you is something i dont want to do,
for on the other side i might see thorns.

As I look into your eyes i realise,
that's what life will be like without you.
Just a bundle of thorns without roses,
but a feeling that has always been true.

But no matter how long the night is,
the sun always shines.
Shadows are always a part of one's life,
but their presence show us the value of sunshine

Khyaal

Dil ka tootna ..

Phir aaj usi disha me hava chal padi hai,
phir lagi saawan ki rimjhim jhadi hai
par ye sab hain khwaabon khyaalon ki baatein,
kabhi toot kar cheez koi judi hai ?

Tanhai ..

Tamanna hai taaron se baatein karne ki
apna haal e dil sunaane ki
Baadalon ko manzoor nahin par iraada humaara,
unhone bhi thaan li hai humein tanha chhod jaane ki.

The stranger with no name

The secrets that my heart holds,
The tear that escapes my eye,
Why did I lose you ?
Why didnt I even try?

My dreams were like the twinkling stars
that faded away in the bright light of day,
But night fell again.
This time I hoped the stars will stay

As the early colors of dawn,
spread across the sky.
Your hand left mine,
as you waved goodbye.

A smile on your face,
and love in your heart.
My prayer for you came true,
as I watched you depart.

So what if the hand you hold is not mine,
my heart holds yours forever
So what if you are not aware of my love,
this secret i will treasure forever.

Sitting in the darkness,
i watched as you became,
The stranger I once loved.
The stranger with no name.
