You without Me.

One day out of the blue, I came to know of you
Were we two?
When I first helped you tie your shoes?
No, we were four,
When you first opened a door (for me).

Holding hands,
Love was our demand
Playing in bands,
Our last kick at the can.

Do you remember all those awkward times?
Did you ever think you would hear wedding bells chime?
Let my love be the mime (of yours).
I’m not as bitter as a lime (anymore).

Remember prom?
When I so happened to be standing next to this guy
And so happened to be wearing the same colour dress as his tie
I always glanced up at you
To see if you would notice me too
Why had you gone back on your promise?
Because babe, then, I was practically prom-less.

Loving you hurts me too much
And oh, even though I wanted to hate you, I couldn’t do as such
A touch of requited love, that’s all I ask, is that too much?

My love, experience is a teacher
Almost like a preacher.

I cannot love thee,
Who doesn’t love me
And in this sea,
Of the lonely,
Maybe this was meant to be,
You without me.
