a face I thought I memorized in time


slowly becomes a face of a stranger


the heart I thought I tied with mine


throbs the sharpest spear to my heart


long before, these thoughts never occurred to me


but as leaves fall slowly, it becomes part of reality


I never held her in the neck


nor bounded her within my reach


too liberal I was, that now all I wanted was to turn back time


I am no god, I have no power


to negate all these qualms


I love her, cared for her as delicately as i would a rose


but she grew thorns


that it was hard for me to come close


it maybe sad but true


that the bond we have exists no more


i've ventured far and high for the love of her


even risked a thousandth life


conquered a number of mountains


but i guess whatever's between us is now exhausted


it isn't what it was yesterday


I am now a no one compared to who I was to her before


I am trying to win her back though


and be the road rough and foggy


she is worth all the pains


worth all the risks


not because she would have done the same thing


not because she completes me


not because she has been my wonderwall


not because she's one of us


but simply because of a reason devoid of meaning by time


a reason that has slipped from the tongues of many


a reason we seldom believe in


folks, i love her


yes, love


I love her as I would a sister I never had


I loved her and I love her still


and though destiny and the world may doubt this


my love for her will shame them all


because for the love of her I'll hold on


i'll fight, i'll combat by hook or by crook


before the last petal will fall..
