Out Of The Woods

I still remember the day when we broke up. 

I was lying on a couch, daydreaming

About silhouettes of you and me breaking apart;

But who knew that those silhouettes from my dreams

Would become true so easily? 

I still remember how we broke apart. 

You came back home, held me tight and kissed me, 

But that was a frozen kiss–it had no more feelings, no more warmth as before;

And then the only thing I knew was that my world had become as dark as ever, 

'Because you left me forever and I knew I was now lost. 

I still remember how I kept wandering here and there, like a lost bird in the woods. 

Life had now become scary and dark, 

And the rest of the world was black and white. 

I didn't know what to do, I was left all alone in a dark void–

I felt as if I was living in the same story that I had once read and flowed my tears down. 

I still remember how my heart ached every time I thought about you, about us. 

An unknown voice screamed in my mind, saying–

"Say you love me, say you love me!"

I knew this was a silly thing to repeat, 

'Because you had already abandoned me,

You would never come back and that your answer would always be "No!"

I was lost. Everything felt lost. I lost him. I lost myself. 

But I knew I had to find the lost, I had to find myself. 

So I stepped my foot into the unknown path of my life. 

I was knocked down many times by the rocks and storms of my life, 

But I didn't let it faze me because I knew I had to find what was lost! 

Every seasons of my life came up with new challenges, 

But I withstood all of them with every bit of courage that was left in me. 

And finally I reached the end point of all my life's miseries and sufferings. 

I found what was lost, I found myself! 

And now, standing near the euphoric beach of my life, out of my life's thorny woods, 

I realized that the only person who is going to hold my hands forever is me myself, 

And so, I should love myself.
