What is love? Many answers, at the same time.
As the twilight meets the dark and the light,
Just as one rainy afternoon you bid farewell,
Talking of matters I did not understand.
Why did it have to rain on days we met and parted?
Why did a walk in the rain bring such love?
And a concealed set of desperate symptoms,
Which I'd never known was of true love.
Now another mirage, another dream choked by logic,
Gives me vision to see clearly what I have lost.
"My love" on the afternoon you left, my heart whispered,
Though my voice choked it with a farewell,
I still remember how tears had fallen,
How sobs had broken for words that didnt come,
Twilight has come again and I meet you everyday,
In every face, in every word, everywhere.
Foolish heart scared of what it didnt know,
Killed love so mercilessly without letting it live.
Nothing, nothing but you in my heart,
Today I witness twilight and my own life.
