Crossroads

Some day at the dusk of life
I want to be on crossroads with you again
This time to chose the same way...

Our tryst in my dreams
Long after you said goodbye
Were small and beautiful
Sweet as our love was when it was still there
Holding hands once again
Walking together on a rain drenched lane

Hands in hands we sit on a bench
My head on your shoulders,
Dreams in my eyes
And in my dream I dreamt of togetherness
One that lasts forever
But forever is a dream
I don’t even have today

And just as I was to kiss you,
Night gave way to the day.
My dream was shattered without a sound
A meek cry from my heart went unheard…

Slowly as realty overshadows dreams,
I wake up too tired to start a day
Unable to leave the bed which is still drenched
with your thoughts
And with the rain I dreamt of

I toss and turn on my bed
Praying for the night to come back
I want to sleep again
To have that dream back in my eyes
To live with you again

But neither dreams nor you
Are ever to come back
A tear filled adieu to my night I bid
A sorrowful greeting to the day

And then I pour the blood of my heart
To a prayer
For once I want to meet you again
Just as we met before
Walk on the same roads
Holding hands

On the cross roads of life once again
Come to me my love
This time I will lead the way
And neither you nor I will cry ever again.
