When I was about to tell you
about how much I loved you,
about how your name had become my heartbeat,
you fell in love with someone else.
I died everyday for months before
I turned my love to that of an onion,
I removed one peel at a time, although
Peeling every peel brought blood tears to my eyes.
It killed me to **** the love I had for you.
But I have peeled all layers till
there is nothing left of your memory now.
I peeled away the last peel
when I heard your companions roar the other name.
I had buried my love in the soil long ago
so you would never find it or hear about it.
But I couldn’t stop myself from telling you
about my love for you
when I read my diary entries of you,
written long time back.
I’m glad you fell in love with someone else
‘cause I loved you crazy and I believed
nobody can love anyone as much as I did you.
I would have only lost myself in you
had you loved me back.
I’m grateful to you for both nothing and everything.
Without you, I would never have understood
the true meaning of falling in love
and the power of unrequited love.

Will you love my silence?
Will you know all my flaws
And still love me?
Will you know my mistakes
And still love me?
Will you still love me
When I have lost my glow?
Will you still love me
when I am weak?
Will you stand by me
When the storm rages?
Will you love me enough
to let me enter your world?
Will you love me enough
to tell me the truth
when it can shatter me?
Will you love me enough
to not hinder my path
saying “it is dangerous”?
Will you love me enough
to travel with me
when I have gone against your wish?
Will you love me enough
to show me your true self?
Will you love me enough
to bid me adieu
when it’s no longer me?

The world is full of beautiful mysterious mazes,
And each breathing soul, including us, is solving it.
All of us are trying to reach our destiny,
which we are clueless about and seek.
Just when a small streak of light transpires
showing us where our passion lies,
we set forth towards it, to see for ourselves,
if it is the key to our life’s purpose,
if it is what we want to become.
Reaching there, we find all the resources
we need to build the castle of our dream.
Block by block, we build the castle of our goal.
Once done, we spend some time at the castle,
enjoying our creation, making the best out of it.
As we spend some time at the beautiful castle,
we realize we want more from the maze.
We set out on a different journey, a different field,
this time exploring the unexplored.
We, once again, dream of a big castle,
a castle filled with bigger dreams and happiness.
Block by block, we build again a beautiful castle.
After seeing many days and many nights, living in the castle,
we wish and aspire for something bigger.
We keep building huge castles,
trying with all might to figure out
what we want to be,
where we want to be,
what we want to do in our life.
Years roll by, we have built many breath-taking castles.
We have had many adventures, many failures, many successes.
At about this time, the secret of the maze becomes
visible to the human eyes,
we see the road not taken,
we dive in, building the magnificent castle,
the castle of our dream,
the castle of our destiny.
