Ahem... Ahem...

Because there was human There was flaw Because there was flaw  There was forgiveness  Because there was forgiveness  There was hope  Because there was hope  There was dreams Because there was dreams  There was reality Because there was reality  There was deceit  Because there was deceit There was heartbreak  Because there was heartbreak  There was...

Losing battles I was, dusk to dawn And over again..  Futile were all my efforts to win So I ran... She seemed to follow me everywhere... Every time I looked, I floated away... Deeper in her thought... She held me in an inexplicable trance,  I couldn't take my eyes off... She vanished at will... She wouldn't wave goodbye.. Forlorn I looked for her, come dawn, to no avail... She came back slowly but surely, Giving me glimpses... Of her beauty, of her glow... For she was a reflection, a shadow.

Her dark hair danced in the gentle breeze, As I watched from a table across from hers, It grazed her cheek back and forth, giving away glimpses of her blue eyes... She ran her fingers through her hair, tucking it behind the ear, Throwing my heart into flutters. The air was filled with her fragrance.. She sat there sipping on her coffee... Little did she know, I was in my heart dancing, A dance she and I were in... For I was falling deeper in love with every passing moment. She looked at me and waved... I had caught the corner of her eye... I smiled back and left my table, to go to hers As I walked towards her, the mind went mute... For I knew not, what to say.. A countless number of butterflies I felt... She spoke away...as I sat there nodding weakly, Mustering all the courage I had left... I asked to have dinner with me...she nodded, Waved a gentle goodbye and vanished into the madding crowd We met soon after and again... And again...

He was weary of being, For he had to hide behind his façade every wink. Hope was the only thing that kept his heart whispering. For reality was now a distant dream. Everyone in his clueless world gazed at him with pride, For having known him all these years. His heart screamed out aloud for help, For his face always put up a brave smile. He surrounded himself with people, who loved him, For he tried to fill an abysmal void. He wanted unselfish love, For he was tired of all the fiction. He lied to the world, For he couldn’t see them grieve. He cried in the rain, For he could hide his tears from his world. He broke down and let go once & for all, For he couldn’t live a lie any more. Waves pounded him over & over as he drifted away into the distance, For ever ...
