I play this music,
And you smile;
Pretending to understand it,
All this while.
I understand these curves of your lips,
You made it for me and they aren’t so true;
I know it and I can feel it because I have been on the other side too.
And we walk on this unending journey
Hand in hand;
Stepping in the same direction,
But our hearts always in different worlds,
The pain of which is too difficult to understand.
You tell me your stories,
And I try to listen to them but your voice keeps fading;
My heart is so full of all the dark things,
That don’t seem to fit in your world which is beautifully blazing.
Maybe we are like the Earth and the Sky,
And we imagined reaching to this horizon for us to meet;
Forgetting that the horizon is just a beautiful mirage,
And Earth and the Sky do slake each other’s thirst but never meet!
But together we have started this journey now,
And we have come too far;
Maybe we will never be like the Sun and Moon,
But we will always bring hope to each other,
Like a Shooting Star!
