They changed.
So did I!
And then they asked, where have the old you gone?
Little did in my heart I also wanted to ask,
Where the old you and me had gone?
But I couldn't ask so I stayed silent.
And I replied I'm still here like always. They smiled and went away.
And I stood alone.
As always!
They changed!
So did I ! A little bit not much,
I wanted to tell them and cry.
But I couldn't as always.
While they smiled and went away,
laughing and smiling with others.
I stood alone as always.
I smiled as I couldn't cry,
And also went away.
After all these years, I still wonder,
If I was still there, would they had came back and stayed?
Quietly! I let that thought go away.
I smiled and walked away,
walking alone, as always!
Still alone now as always.
Many came and many went.
Still I'm searching for the one,
who would not make me feel left.
Seeing the ones coming after another,
I still am sitting alone hoping to stop searching.
But my little heart ends up hoping for someone who would not make me feel alone,
like everyone else.
Watching others finding their other half,
I sat beside myself all alone as always.
