Poonam Mehta - I Hate You

Every time we disagree
this hate becomes stronger.
So many times we have played
this love hate relationship
but I think this time it is here to stay.
For we will never be able to
understand each other.
The more we try the more we fall apart.
It is only due to the result
of so many years of trying to.

People who love influence
each other in so many ways.
But this never happened to us.
The see-saw now tires me.
The touch no longer excites me
The more we try the coming out gets easier.

Nothing in this house
I can claim to be mine
I am a stranger in your house.

All these years of togetherness, I thought
was an investment for my future
But the fights we have dilute
the very essence of togetherness.

'Perfect couple', 'made for each other'
Do not fit for our relationship.
We are two souls residing in different bodies.
when one is sad, the other is glad.

Today we have reached the stage
Where what bothers one matters to him alone.

I often wonder, in this blissful world,
is it too difficult
To make a home without
sorrows and fights?
