A Day With You

A dull boring life,
With nothing much to do.
No one to care for
And no one to care for you.

Can I escape for a day
To the wonderland of my dreams?
And forget my pains and worries
In the land of flowers and streams.

Its a day you spend with someone
Who makes a difference to you,
Who makes you feel special.
Like, on green grass, a drop of dew.

The world suddenly seems brighter:
No more a still life in black and white.
The winter is less cold today.
And the day beautiful and bright.

The bird’s song is sweeter today
And the flower smiles through leaves:
For the pessimist lives no longer
And again, in love he believes.

Who says the world is hopeless?
And you have nothing left to do.
I feel this life is worth living again
After a day I spend with you.

My Predictions...

Its a new dawn.
The promise of a bright day.
Flowers smile and birds sing
And I feel its a new day too.

I go out on my usual journey
Across the bustling and lively city.
Its a joy to see happy people
When you are yourself happy.

The day goes by as usual
And I forget the predictions
I made the night before:
Now that the darkness has cleared.

The day ends for all
And everyone returns:
Even the birds which set out
On their expedition at dawn.

Not even a whole day passed
Before I made my predictions...
And I forget about them
In the daily illusions...

But they come true in the end,
As the day sinks into darkness
And I return to my usual gloom.
Why can’t my predictions be wrong sometimes?

THE CHANGE

Why can’t you leave me alone?
Why do you haunt my dreams?
Why should something remind me of you
Every time I think I’ve forgotten you?

Why can’t you leave my dreams
When you have left me in reality?
Why can I not forget you
Even when you have forgotten me?

I know its not your fault.
Why do you think its my fault?
What have I done wrong anyway?
Why do you blame me for it all?

Why can’t I be your friend now?
Have I not been a friend before?
Couldn’t you show me my mistakes
Rather than leave me feeling guilty?

Couldn’t you forgive an erring man?
How could you be so relentless?
Couldn’t you be just like you were before?
Can’t you trust me anymore?

You say you are normal now.
And you want me to believe it.
Then were you not normal before?
Wasn’t what I saw the normal you?

Wish I could turn back the clock
And prevent those moments from occurring.
The ones that remind me of you.
The ones that won’t let me forget you.

Can I forget the times you helped me?
Or gave me encouragement?
Or gave me strength when I needed?
Or the times you said I can do it?

I never expected anything.
Then why should I be hurt?
Oh yes, I know now why I’m hurt:
I never expected a change in you.

You said you’d be frank with me always.
But when the time came for you to speak,
You chose to remain silent...
And your silence was louder than words.
