Once upon a 17 years ago,
When the rains metaphored school,
When to look at you asked for excuses,
When sitting & smiling behind you,
I knew that I burn for you...
Few months & misunderstandings later,
Few thoughts & mad dreams later,
Few stares & teases later,
Few smiles & talks later,
I knew that I burn for you...
Half years passed like a blow,
We reconnected at a lost place,
And promised to remember us,
Hoping you to fall hard this time,
I knew that I burn for you...
The later years brought me jitters,
The beaches seem intriguing,
The impatience for one little 'Hi',
The wait slowly cuts my soul,
I knew that I burn for you...
But.. your attention I quenched for,
But.. your love I asked for,
But.. your touch I dreamt of,
Happened to happen late & unfair,
I knew that I burn for you...
Once upon a 17 years later,
The wishing happiness remain one sided ,
Still passing the memories asking 'what if?',
Questions left unanswered forever,
And I knew that I'll burn for you...
