Areena Arora - The Waters...

Some time long back
standing off the edge
I saw the dawn of my life
I saw a deep sea
a light dark at the end
and I don't know why

I befriended the waters
and sweared to stay there forever
ages came and ages went
rains came and silence then
but there on the edge...
I stood....
with the waters, with a friend

We rejoiced together all moments spent
I loved my friend's splashing
and there amidst wondering souls
off the edge,
I stood

Autumns and springs came
and went fine
and then came winters
-The best moments of my short life
the waters froze and held my hand
Cloud 9 was my height
I felt it there forever

I tried to hold on time
it just slipped beyond my reach
and with the summer that came along
melted and swiftly flowed away the waters

I cried, I weeped
and waved to waves passing by
later I realized
with each winter walks in a friend
and a time does come
when it's adios to the friend...
