Losing You

I promise you the world
All it’s riches, gems, and gold
To deliver to you the stars and the moon
And bunch of snow in the middle of June

But you still choose to walk out of the door
left me wondering if you want more
What else could I give? What else could I offer?
Every seconds without you feels like torture

As you gave me one last look, tears formed in your eyes
You said “Sorry, I am not good in goodbyes”
“But I don’t need the world, I am good with just a dime”
“I just hope to have some of your precious time”

I am down on my knees as guilt consumes me
Why did I overlook your misery?
I wish I have known earlier to make things right
Coz now it’s too late and you’re out of my sight

I’ve been trying to do a lot of things 
Forgetting the little joys that life can bring
Busy finding that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
So in the process of chasing success, I end up losing you...
