I knew!

In that very moment, I knew

You and me,

Stood hand in hand but were miles apart,

Like day and night, so close yet so far.

You looked into my eyes and smiled

But the warm glow in my eyes had long died,

Your tender touch felt nothing but ice cold and,

In that very moment, I knew.

You and me

Have been together for so long like old trees of Deodars,

Was it a habit? I wonder,

Or at least some of it was love.

Sunsets inspired hope for tomorrow

And what joy were our walks through the meadows,

One look at the wounded sky, the barren meadows, and

In that very moment, I knew.

You and me

Had years of laughter,

The echo of which haunts me in long winter nights,

As the crackling of embers tries to fill the emptiness of life.

In that very moment, I knew

You and me,

Were once meant to be,

But alas, that lifetime has passed,

And it’s you or me.
