Waiting in the rain..
(A song)


I’m waiting in the rain,
thinking of you I’m going insane.
For how long must I wait, to see your pretty face?
‘cause it don’t feel so good,
baby just to stand here and wait.

Come back and hold my hand again,
thinking of you I’m going insane.
I see your face in the moon.
You have a promise to keep,
so come home soon.

For how long must I wait, to see your pretty face?
‘cause it don’t feel so good,
baby just to stand here and wait.

Dropped by your house today,
walked into your room.
Saw your pictures…I felt warm.
Baby without you, I’m torn,
So please wont you come home.

For how long must I wait, to see your pretty face?
‘cause it don’t feel so good,
baby just to stand here and wait,
just waiting in the rain,
waiting in the rain.

Resurrection

Tears in the rain,
Holding on to my pain.
Misunderstanding surrounding me,
Darkness is all that I can see.

To loneliness I’ve become prone,
I’m lost in a crowd, standing all alone.
Tears in the rain,
Holding on to my pain.

A beam of light I can see,
It’s here to set me free.
To relieve me of the pain in my heart,
A chance to begin again from the start.

Another level I am on,
This race I surely have won.
Tears in the rain,
Letting go of my pain.

Been a long time

Been a long time since I heard a genuine laughter.
Been a long time since I saw a mother loving her daughter.
Been a long time since you and I were together.

Been a long time since I closed my eyes and opened to see color.
Been a long time since I smelt a flower.
Been a long time since I danced in the monsoon shower.

Been a long time since I saw love in someone’s eyes.
Been a long time since I found peace in the blue skies.
Been a long time since I’ve prayed without tears in my eyes

Had a horrible day today.. sick feeling that lingers on in my head, composed the following..

Here I sit at the window sill again,
feeling the wind blowing through my hair.
Why must I, only I endure so much pain?
It’s more difficult than I thought, it not fair.

Been a long time since I saw a friendly smile.
This sudden creation of a dense void,
the world has abruptly become so hostile.
Castles of hopes and dreams have completed been destroyed.

Sitting in the balcony of my high-rise apartment, reminiscing school life, the teachers, the canteen, the building, the playground and most of all, my friends. I wrote these few lines, to honor every person I met in that school, right from Mohun bhaiya, who released us from the paltry lectures by ringing the bell, to the principal, whose office I frequented. I thank you all for coming into my life, for it is because of you , I am who I am.

Memories

People come and go,
but their memories remain.
The echoes of their laughter,
the shadows of the pain.
People come and go,
but their memories remain.

People relate different things like songs, restaurants, colors to other people, who once probably meant alot to them. Coffee, reminds me of this one person...

Over Coffee…

I saw him everyday,
However, I could never say,
What my heart felt for him,
How his smile would turn my night into day.

I talked to him everyday,
As a friend, I knew he was here to stay,
It felt so good to vent out on him,
But people change, as the night turns to day.

Now, no longer do I talk to him everyday,
I miss him so, how do I say?
I want him back in my life
I guess this night will never turn into day.
