So long, never

It hasn't been so long,
that i cant write a song,
for a pretty girl,
who, one day, just came along.

It was the first day of my college,
and i was walking through a lane,
with people unknown all around me,
and things of which i had no prior knowledge.

Then one day in my class,
just right across my bench,
I saw this cute little face,
who seemed, just like me, a little out of place.

Then days went by just sitting behind her,
and lectures passed thinking idly about her,
at once I thought, "Today, let me speak",
but it always ended in me being just silent and meek!

She always stared at me, 
in our graphics class,
and I thought to myself,
"Man! even I've got some class".

A few more months just gently passed,
and then I started speaking to her, at last!
but my tongue still crumbled, and mind became numb,
each time after I spoke to her, I thought, "shit! I was so dumb".

It was  only a matter of time,
that even she felt that tiny little dime,
tossing up and down in her stomach,
making it into a sweet chime.

I told her that i like her,
she  said, "I like you too"
She told me that she loves me,
and i told her, "I love you too"

We started  going out every day,
immediately after the college.
She would be "in the canteen"
and i would be "studying for GRE"

It never felt so good before,
with her thoughts all over my geeky brain,
and every single part of me,
would feel like its been born again.

Then I lived the best days of my life,
and the best winds, as if they would sing a song,
I saw the best stars shining at night, with her,
And strolled in the best rains, holding her hands all along.

Then came a time, when I was to depart,
every day after that, I lived with a heavy heart,
the days werent any good, and the winds werent gentle either,
the stars had stopped shining, and the rains had started to bother.

This was a new face of Life,
who was telling me about things beyond her.
These were some new moments of Time,
who wanted me to be away from her.

I agreed to Life, I  saw things beyond her,
I agreed to Time, I lived moments without her.
But even now as I look back, along the path I conquered,
I find my heart lying there, still beating for noone but her.

I dont eat alone, shes always eating with me,
I dont walk alone, shes always walking with me,
As much as I feel distant,
I still, never live alone, shes always living right inside me.

The days and winds, and starts and rains,
dont seem like a friend anymore,
Life and Time have shown me their might,
And now I feel like crossing the sea and coming back ashore.

I know shes waiting right there,
waiting to hold me all tight.
I know I will run to her and kiss her head,
Good Lord, now that would be some sight!

What more do I tell her,
What more do I tell myself,
For all that I know all my life,
is only one thing, that....

It will never be so long,
that I cant write a song,
for a pretty girl,
who, one day, just came along.
