Down the road …

 

Down the road…when we meet just say hello to me…

Even if no more you like me…say that you still miss me.

Because that will ease my pain and my lost emotions I will gain.

Never will I ask you to do something for me

Just once…smile for me…when down the road we meet!!

I do not ask for more… just walk with me along the shore.

You need not hold my hand… need not write my name in sand.

 

Just say that you will be with me even if you cannot be with me

Because that will soothe my heart and then you can depart!

I will not cry…neither will I try to get you back again

Because I know it will be in vain

You stay happily with her… I will never curse her!

Still ! I may envy her… because you are not mine you are hers!

 

Once in a while, do call me up… please help me to cover up...

Help me to come out of the pain… that, in your love, I gain.

Please say that still you care for me

And though only in thoughts...you still belong to me!

Oh man! Please don’t you ever say ‘go’…even if you want me to go!

Just hold her in your arms and praise her charms…

And I will know that you want me to go.

I will leave you alone with her… then you can love her…

Without thinking that someone equally loves you

And will continue to love you

Even if no more I get a chance to curl in your arms and dance

 

How can I ever say that please do not betray

When I know that you have already done that to me

You have never ever really loved me

Though we have spent few moments together

Curling up in stormy weather… I know that you never loved me

Still I say…I have loved and I love thee!
