Intrusion of faint memories,
 Of a long forgotten past,
 Still hurts in a bitter sweet way.
 
 The lost friends of the yore,
 Rise like phantoms in night,
 More pain follows.

  Trying to escape to present,
 I go through the rituals,
 Of feigning Innocence.

  But somewhere the guilt catches up,
 Of hurting others in ignorance,
 Accusing me of deceit.

  But in my heart I know,
 I never had the courage,
 To tell that someone who loved me.

  That I never wanted to be loved,
 nor was I capable of loving her,
 Wish she will understand.
 
 I am just a shadow of dreams,
 I am just a haunted soul,
 Who lives to suffer in agony.

  I never wanted to be a star,
 I never wanted to travel far,
 I never wanted to give you pain.
 
 Never ever fall in love,
 With the shadow of a Dream,
 "I never promised you a rose garden."
