The Innocent One
I was walking down a narrow lane
But then I saw something strange
Into the water crystal clear
Was someone with a daunting gaze
Well i thought it's me who's thinking weird
For sure my mind is not in right state
No matter how many excuses I made
I couldn't ignore that piercing stare
She was beautiful with a calm face
Curiosity filled big black eyes
Though I knew it would be lame
Still I waved at her anyway
Now you'll wondering what happened next
Well she just mirrored my every movement
The atmosphere oozed with certain tension
And yeah, it was my own reflection
My foggy sight due to world's hardships and games
Is to be blamed for tricking me again
Cause the girl I saw in the water
Was pure inside without any stains
It's true I am free in the open sky
But I am limited with infinite chains
Though god gave me wings to fly
But they trapped me in the cage
Looks like I lost her in the crowd
Hidden somewhere in my brain
Although she looks safe and sound
I wonder when I'll meet her again...
