For every step I walked towards you,

For every snippet of happiness you promised,

I encountered misery all the way.

Neither the moon nor it’s light could replace you,

Because every time you smiled at me,

I let darkness penetrate my soul.

I didn’t really have a reason to live,

But, for the sparkle of your eyes each time,

I breathed in some more.

You don’t know because you don’t know,

For little moments spent with you,

I wasted away my nights, burning like a candle.

They say love is fool’s game,

I am proof of it,

Because each time you said you loved me,

I let go of my inner voice wondering how lucky I was.
