I held her close to my thoughts,
made her the nucleus of my world,
she remained the gift I cherished
in every leaf of my beautiful life
I had her always on my mind,
and it didn’t matter what I did,
or what views the mind assumed,
she never deserts me
for she took a permanent space
in my throbbing heart
While I reposed she became my dream,
and when awake my sole force,
and it didn’t matter
whether she was there in person or not
her smiles stayed with me days and nights
And I knew
because of her aura
I will remain in bliss
for many lifetimes to come

Little does she knowIt will end before it will start;Little does she knowIt will leave cracks in her heart;Little does she knowThe traditions always die down slowly;Little does she knowit's still a knot, even it is holy;Little does she knowWounds are always scraped more;Little does she knowevery person is nothing but a voyeur;Little does she knowthis game always ends in deadlock;Little does she knowshe is not part of the flock; Little does she knowThere is nowhere to hide forever;Little does she knowher pain has surrounded her;Little does she knowShe stopped feeling somehow;Little does she knowThe smiles are all phony;Little does she knowYou always end up lonely.
