I saw you looking at me
It all came back, the love story, the tragedy
The times when i coveted thee
Times when I still believed in serendipity
I reckon the day when you made me titter
The mere touching of hands that made me jitter
The rare times I get stared at by your piercing eyes
Then you left me hanging on a precipice
Yes, you left me hanging when we parted destiny
I went with honor, you went with piety
You stood out, I lied low
Neither bothered to say hello
As the days pass by monotonously
My heart kept playing the same sad melody
It begins with ‘I thought we were meant to be’
Then the same phrase is sung repeatedly
Time has change my once trifling life
Rid my heart of its ubiquitous bloody strife
The pain once so seething is now so dim
And this I owe to no one but Him
So now I see you looking at me
Though peripheral I can still see you clearly
Is it longing I see in your eyes my hallowed crooner?
If it’s love you ask, you should have asked sooner.
