Unspoken Desire

Loving you is all that I dream about
Holding you is all that I ever want
Girl you are my wish, my hope, the reason that I live
My feelings were never so easy to understand
All my life, it was never this hard to pretend

I get so lost when I am near you
Memories fade, thoughts are all about you
Want to remain stuck in the moment till you can find me
O baby, you are everything I like about me

Beaten by chances, still high on spirit
Though truth is visible, I choose to deny it
I don't close my eyes to run away from reality
Just want to watch you clearly
In a way I want to see, way I want the things to be

I know inside that you will never be mine
But my love was never yours to define
I will just keep trying like I always did
Wont ever confess, wont tie you in chains
Wont ever sacrifice, wont let you take the blame
Others call it suffering, but I enjoy this pain
This amazing fight of mine with me everyday

You live your life in the world we stay
And I will live mine in the fantasies I create
One day perhaps our worlds will meet
Till then its only an idea that holds me still
You will start feeling the same for me
Everything will be perfect as it should be

O baby, wake me, please wake me to my love's sweet victory
Hear me, my silence has got a melody
See me beyond all boundaries and cruel realities
Feel me, I am not that far away
After all, I am just your helpless lover who doesn't dare to say

Soulless Wanderer

Scared to walk on the flagstones that your love would lay in my journey
My journey to freedom
My journey to diffidence  
My journey to destiny.
I returned back flake of your sole that was with me as a keepsake
AND started ambling legs on the promenade of my journey.

I didn't want to bail out from our story
I just wanted to elide your presence in my sole
You never brought any elegy to our imperishable bond but
It was me who rusted ours amicable relation and decided our segregation.

Walking away from your home and stepping on YOUR FOOTSTEPS
I felt your breath and relived every moment with you again but 
When I turned back I just saw a dilapilated house and a barren dusty road

NOW as I am roaming lugubriously I don't have you with me
Your absence has quenched my thirst for search of destiny 
And I have realized that my journey didn't began after leaving you but it ENDED.

Its not that I have forgotton you and my brain has erased photographic memories of you in my kaput life
I still remember you while sitting on the porch and watching the stars alone
I still remember you when I want someone to hold my hand and walk with me
AND I still remember the last meeting of our eyes.

Whenever these feeling start taking control of me I console my heart by saying

How could I have asked her to come when even I don't know where I am going.
I am just a Soulless Wanderer`

Without You

You know I loved you in the past
You know I cared while it last
But you let it go, had me go alone
But you called it all, when I wanted more 

I was broken at first, my head was tied-up
My dreams were lost, all I thought was us
I was lost on the road for you were my home
I waited for the day you (would) show up

Were I wrong or we weren't right
Were I not strong or we didn't fight
One thing for sure, you had my all
I couldn't have you loved you any more 

Now I just remember your lies
Now I just remember my cries
Now I am surprised how it even go that long
Now I am annoyed for why I bore it all 

You were to me, how I thought you up
Your warmth and care was how I felt up
I was living in my dream world
It was burning yet you were cold 

I have found peace without you now
My life is now complete for I have me found
