Anjali Lal
The bright shadows
Followed me everywhere
And I knew I would
Meet you somewhere
I saw you in everything
And I tried to find you everywhere
Hoping we would crash
Into each other somewhere
I guitared and I sang
To the crazy beats I jam
I looked above and then below
For 500 meters I ran
The calculations were crazy
Shakespeare told a story
that made no sense
One thousand and one nights were lonely
I befriended one
I befriended all
There were some bonds
And some scars
I felt your presence
Like an aura around me everywhere
And I knew I would
Meet you someday somewhere
I think I saw you
You were different
Pretty and a
delight to my heart
I think I fell in love
With everything you were
Pretty and a
delight to my heart
I think I found you
In everything you were
Pretty and a
delight to my heart
You left one day
I saw you for not you
Pretty and
Just a delight to my heart
Facebook, Instagram
Snapchat, Whatsapp
Were near to you and
Far from you
Like they are from everything else
Like a pendulum I moved
Near and away from you
Or so I thought
Maybe like a merry-go-round
Alluding to come near
While staying just where
you are there
Or maybe something else
I am bad at Physics
I can’t explain motions
Or rotations
So I decided to solve some equations
which the witch gave me
Problems and more problems
Solutions and more solutions
Solutions that made sense
Solutions that made no sense
Solutions that solved problems
Solutions that solved no problems
The witch then showed
me to the way to heaven
And finally I knew I would meet you
Here, right here.
You would be beautiful
as beautiful gets
You would be shinier
as Shiny gets
You would tickle my heart
And then push me forward
To the limits of success I have not seen
You would make me smile again
But the witch
Takes me somewhere
Where you are not
But I like it
Her potions are colourful
and psychedelic
And you seem to be around everywhere
I knew I would meet you somewhere
I come back home
I crash to the bed
I change into my pyjamas
I am tired of the ups and downs
I am tired of finding you
I am tired of not seeing you
And not holding you
Get up early
I remind myself
Need to prepare the presentation
Of the life itself
In front of another panel
They will judge me
And may tell me I was great
I will not believe them
Until I see you there
I will keep on trying
I know you follow me everywhere
I know I am going to
Find you somewhere
