Dear Nessa - Now that our marriage is over
I would like you to know that, if I could put back the clock
Fifteen years to the cold March day of our wedding,
I would wed you again and, if that marriage also broke,
I would wed you yet again and, if it a third time broke,
Wed you again, and again, and again, and again, and again:
If you would have me which, of course, you would not.
For, even you - in spite of your patience and your innocence
(Strange characteristics in an age such as our own)
- Even you require to shake off the addiction of romantic love
......
I heard about this theory;
that in the perfect couple,
One will like olives, and the other will not.
One will always eat for the other.
I think that's why we never worked,
You proudly shouted your love for the salted fruit,
While I, meekly, passed mine to you.
You convinced that only you could possibly like them.
And I, well. I simply did not.
It wasn't until the end, the end of us;
......
Winter's cold breath is blowing across my face,
As it cools my tears
The thought of you, gone far away
Some where in the skies has made me melancholy
?Remembering the kiss while yr blue eyes are closed,
The silence of the wind's wisdom is telling me you are near
As yr spirit embraces my heart when it starts to break
I continue to watch the snow fall,
But I must go back to our home
And warm myself with a pen in hand
......
Hum bikhare huye hai ab humare paas na aaye koi,
Magar andar hi andar y Dil chahta hai ki kaash Hume bhi manaye koi,,
Or jab tabiyat bigadne lagi tab logo na kaha jao Hakim ko bulao koi,
Maine roka or kaha marne se pehle mujhe mere mehboob ki tasveer dikhao koi....

Forever, Forever, Forever.
I've heard it so many times.
I've fallen for it so many times.
Each time I decide I won't fall for it again,
but I do it over and over and over.

Dawdling faintin’ echoes melted
on the great wooden door
her tiny green eyes sighed
at his greasy black hair and
noted his lazy brown almond eyes
“He-hey Luna- can we talk?
Please this one time”

Forever, Forever, Forever.
I've heard it so many times.
I've fallen for it so many times.
Each time I decide I won't fall for it again,
but I do it over and over and over.
......
everyone in my life is a passerby
if I didn’t remind you,
would you have said goodbye?
the last time you were inside
I saw something in the blue of your eye
a gleam of conquest
the first clue to the truth of our lie
a game I could never win
with loss I gained confidence
my success is your sin
......
