An old picture back ten years or so from now
A college picnic near the river called Mazhitar
It's amazing how things change in ten years
They say its a long time
It sure feels like
For the me staring back at me
Is not the same me now
Those eyes speak of definitions
Different from what I define life as now
It's a picture of people who stayed ten years back
And people who moved on to the now
I met this guy the other day
Who still talks of his college crush
The irony of the situation is
She may never even think of him now
Some love stay
Some love wait
Some love just fade away
If there was a measure of finding the best kind of love
Maybe it would be the one that waits
But thats not my story
My story
Is about a girl back then
different from the woman that is now
Maybe definitions are never perfect
Maybe the life I defined then
Was the best way life could ever be defined
For the definitions I have now are all smudged
Clouded behind ten years of dust...
Accumulated in being the me now.

ReplyDeleteWell the definitions like you said are always defined on the basis of what u have accumulated till now... the less you begin with, the more u can hope for, the more you begin wid the less you can hope for.... I don think love whether one that stays, one that fades or one that waits can ever define you...Thats not the purpose to begin with... love is just another excuse for life... something tht makes living more memorable.. ultimately its the trouble you took living this life that ends up defining you... and not the definition that you so desperately wanted to define...
ReplyDeleteWell...its different perceptions of life Anant...and mine and yours are stark different :P...i have always thought that without love...life would be totally incomplete...just like eating pizza without cheese...a person's identity or life is defined no doubt by the way he lived...but love sure does define the path he walked through...I don't think there will be any person in the world who would not have loved...if u can point me to someone...i would have a few questions to ask him or her..
ReplyDeleteWell like I said love is another excuse for living.. its like eating pizza with cheese.. but can u live without eating a pizza? or pizza without cheese... well you do...its just that eating wldnt be the same.... similarly love is a similar aspect... there are many who live without even the basics amenities of life... let alone love... they even don get self respect and u want me to show u one without love? :-) Anyway to sum it up... I wld emphasize on living ur life the best you can... u can have ur definitions at the end of the day... trying to define something u definitely can't will only end u up in a bag full of tears n dissapointments... In the end... its because of our rigidity towards change that we have the problems.. the more flexible we are... the more comfortable life will seem... :D
