I SURRENDER

I surrender everything to you

I am heart broken

I've been defeated in the battle of life

I am shattered

I have no reason to live

O my Lord you are my only strength

There is no hope

There are no more expectations

There is no happiness

There is no one to love

Everything is over

My world is barren

I have no one but you

The Almighty,the whole of this

Universe believes in you

You give the best to everyone

So please give me the gift of death

I finish myself at your feet

I surrender everything to you

The Past and The Present

Times have changed,

Circumstances have changed,

You have changed,

I have changed.

Remember the time when

we saw each other silently.

Remember the time when

our heart skipped a beat

on just looking at each other.

Remember the time when

just one glance made our day.

Remember the time when

we came at the terrace just

to have one sight of each other.

Remember the time when

silence did all the talking

Remember the time when

you drew my picture just

to see a smile on my face.

Remember the time when

we talked to each other for the first time

Remember the time when

my one smile made you

give treat to your friends.

Well those were the days

And now its the present

It's been fifteen years

And we are seeing each other again

I am with my husband

And you are still alone

I wish I was by your side

And you would be smiling

I know you haven't laughed for years

And somewhere it has been my fault

I wish I could bring it all back

But times have changed

Circumstances have changed

The only thing that hasn't changed

Is Our 'Love' for each other

It still hurts

It’s been long since you left me,
It’s been ages since I had a talk with you,
It’s been months since I last saw you,
It’s been long since I touched you,
It’s been ages since I hugged you,
It’s been months since I kissed you,
It’s been long since I sat next to you,
It’s been months since I ate ice cream with you,
It’s been ages since we studied together,
It’s been long since I laughed like I used to before,
It’s been months since I gave time to myself,
It’s been ages since I cried,
My smile left me,
My tears have also left me,
My emotions left me,
Since the day you left me,
Everything which was mine left me.
It’s been long…But it still hurts…….
It still hurts to be away from you,
It still hurts to sit alone,
It still hurts to have silent days 
It still hurts to have quiet nights.
It still hurts to be myself again.
It still hurts
It still hurts
It still hurts…
