Let me be myself tonight, my love,

And hear the words flow out.

It has been eons without you,

Tonight, let me live one more time, one last time, one only time!

 

These trees that stand tall have seen many falls,

And they say that no matter what, life goes on.

But deep in their hearts, the trees also remember,

Their beloved leaves that left them last season.

Let me be myself tonight, my love,

And hear the words flow out.

The days have been blank without you,

Tonight, let me live one more time, one last time, one only time!

 

These mountains that smugly look at me, have heard many echoes,

And they convey that no matter what, people will come and go.

But deep in their hearts, there is a voice they can’t forget,

Whose resonance they wish to receive over and over again.

Let me be myself tonight, my love,

And hear the words flow out.

The life has been dead without you,

Tonight, let me live one more time, one last time, one only time!

 

This heart of mine that beats, strokes with pain,

And it utters that no matter what, joys and ache will always be there.

But deep in heart’s heart, it knows there is an agony that can never heal,

For the one who triggered it will never rebound to me.

Let me be myself tonight, my love,

And hear the words flow out.

The highs have been hollow without you,

Tonight, let me live one more time, one last time, one only time!

 

Let me say what you don’t know.

Let me hear what you won’t say.

Let only love set us free,

Let it be only you and me.

 

I know we don’t have a future,

I so wish the past always stayed.

Let me be myself this moment, my love,

And hear all that is buried inside.

The heart is not a graveyard,

And in my soul, we are very much alive.

 

This void is no good,

And so is the distance.

I know what you feel,

For I have known you all my life.

All I ask is for us to be ourselves, tonight, my love,

Let us live one more time, one last time, one only time!!

Sometimes, it’s never enough!!

So high I want to fly so as to never to look back again.

So much I want to succeed so as to never to fail again.

So much I want to walk so as to never to get tired again.

So much I want to do so as to never to regret again.

 

So far I want to run so as to never to return again.

So much I want to forgive so as to never to feel hurt again.

So much I want to love so as to never to hate again.

So much I want to live so as to never to be sad again.

 

So much I want to laugh so as to never to cry again.

So much I want to dance so as to never to hold myself back again.

So much I want to travel so as to never to stay in one place again.

So much I want to give so as to never to ask for anything again.

Is it not your birthday week?
Why is the celebration plan so meek?
Open the chains, set yourself free,
Forget everything and go on a shopping spree.

Put all your burdens aside,
Let your stress commit suicide.
Indulge in eateries, enjoy the air,
Make your birthday a grand affair.

Don’t let dieting take away your mood,
Eat everything, I know you love food.
Shop as a king and dress like a hero,
Add to your bill, numerous zeroes.

You are special for your family and me,
You were born to sing and dance in glee.
Let the child in you bring the best out,
Enjoy your week; laugh, scream & shout.

It will be the same routine throughout the year,
But this week  will not reappear.
You will have to wait for 364 days,
“It is your week” is what everyone says.

Just make the most of it,
Throw all your tensions into a pit.
This week will pass with the blink of an eye,
But the memories will forever stay and never say bye.

The child in me can’t wait to see

The times to come full of glee.

All the happiness of my life

Fused together in a week so bright.

The clock is ticking with a gait so slow

Hundreds of emotions in my heart do flow.

The season of love is right here

February for me, is so dear.

The smallest of all but the romantic one

February truly makes memories for everyone.

The month of love as they call it

Brings joy for lovers and acts as a cupid.

The child in me can’t wait to feel

The beautiful and mesmerizing Valentines eve.

When red becomes the color of the town

Roses bloom and shine like a crown.

After Valentines is the golden day of the year

When my prince promised me love and cheer.

He made me his bride on that lovely day

Together we are happy, content, merry and gay.

Then comes the day which means so much to me

That day, for the first time, my mom’s face did I see.

I waited for nine long months to meet my mother

Lovingly, she brought me into this world and I met my father and brother.

The child in me can’t wait to see

The joys of life blessed on me.

I eagerly wait for my week of the year

O dear February, you are, undoubtedly my cheer.

You said that you love me; you said you will make me smile

Then why are these tears here which tell me that you are not mine

You said you will always be there, you said you will never leave

But why is this pain there and why doesn’t my heart heal

You are gone forever, you didn’t care for me

All I remember are the nights when you made me weak

I asked for your time, love and nothing extraordinary

But the way you behaved, made me feel so secondary

My words ceased and my eyes melted

You didn’t have anything to say, you left me cheated.

You used me like a chewing gum and discarded when you were done

Should I say it’s because of your new love story that has just begun?

Even after I was gone, you never cared to bring us back

I thought our love was our strength and nothing that we lacked

So here I am telling how unfair you have been

I wish I went through this breakup not now but when I was in my teens

I have forgiven you but will never forget what you’ve done

You surely taught me enough and my new life has just now begun.
