Sitting in the Shadows.......
In the darkness of the night.....
Thinking of you my love......
the night is dark .......
The silence is flowing.....
The pain of separation......
Etched deep in my heart

 " you shall never meet"
is the nature's cry......
I know I will never meet you.....
My heart wonders why?

 I am the desert.....
that wants the rain.....
I starve and am alone......
in this barren land...

 but still you never pour......
can feel your presence.......
Expecting you to come to me.....
and then.......
the fatal wind blows........
That drifts you away.....

 Trying to lose myself....
in a never ending sleep.......
but these damn tears.....
I cant stop crying.....
I want to stand beside you......
wanna listen to your voice....

 I have never heard you.....
But I am trying hard........
trying to understand.....
The essence of silence....
I strive to catch your words....
But the wind carries your voice away
 
I walk up and down.......
Trying to find you......
and then, this soul of mine.....
It walks away from me......
I want your love for ever.....

 but then,  why o stranger?
you are not with me!

 I surrender
I erode
I cry
I hurt
I miss you
yet why?

 O stranger
don't you come to me

 standing alone in the shadows
my wounds hurting

 But then I know
my desire is an illusion
A fallacy, can never be truth
this dark and gloomy night
It cries incessantly that

 " you shall never meet "
