Crossroads..

There is this girl so simple and sweet,

She loves to be in her own world of imagination,

I love the way she talks and laughs,

And in times of need she has been my motivation..

Every single day of mine is incomplete without her,

Her looks, her eyes, her voice, her touch,

Whenever she is not around,

All these things I miss so much..

But this has become yesterday,

And it is just a memory,

The clouds have started to gather now,

And the leaves are falling from the tree..

A tear comes to my eye when I think of her,

A cute smile was always displayed on her face,

I remember the times when our friendship was new,

And I felt she was the only one I wanted to amaze..

But now the things are not the way they used to be,

And I guess there's no one who deserves the blame,

She has decided to take another path,

While I am still walking on the same..

And now I have this feeling of feeling nothing at all,

I am walled off emotions, unconscious with dreams of bliss,

Frantically grasping for a hold,

And being dragged further into an abyss..

I just want her to take the burden off her shoulders,

For the paths we are talking about are very far apart,

It seems like she has already decided to travel the new road,

So I think even I need to depart..

I don't know how the things between us got ruined,

I don't know who created this division in our road,

But this is how exactly it is,

And now it feels like rains of sorrows are heavily being poured..

So here I am saying the final goodbye,

As much as I know, we can't stay,

Spending one last minute lost in her eyes,

Hoping that our roads will cross again some another day..
