I was waiting in the lonely park,
Just beyond the banyan tree,
For a tryst in the desolate night,
Too jittery to breathe free.
I was waiting, I was yearning,
And keeping an eye on my watch,
It almost felt like a thousand years,
While a spasm began to catch.
Watching over the hedge,
I waited like a stone,
After a desperate wait,
I set off to my home.
In my heart I felt a void,
And I began to ponder,
Why, why didn’t she come?
Hence I started to wonder.
I couldn’t fathom, was it love?
No, it couldn’t be for it was over,
How could they say love was eternal?
But I knew I had to recover.
True, it may seem, that new days dawn,
And bitter memories die,
There’s fear but hope still,
As life goes by,
As life goes by.
