When I saw you my friend,
In the depths, alone, there I lie,
Waiting , waiting for the end
I saw a light in the distant lane
Who knows from where did it come
A spark that made me feel alive again
So much my own , so much warm
You came like a gust of wind
And swept everything close to me
Who knows what else is to unwind
And what else is there for me to see
A stagnant pool of water was I
You transformed it to a river
A river that washed away every sigh
A river that may reach you never
An old rusty lock , few discoloured pages
With no one to write a new story
Some idle moments and a stack of memories,
You sought to find out the key
I feel your fragrance in the misty air
I feel your presence in my sadness, in my delight
A friend who is so precious, so rare,
Why cant you see me in your sight?
A stormy winter may be like you
Sweeping away everything
I cry, I urge , but nothing replies to rue
Over my void , leaving behind nothing
And suddenly when my eyes open, I see the reality infront
As stale and silent as ever
Once again set to haunt
Because the river may be lost forever
