Special Someone

In our lives, we search 'n search
to reach out 'n hold 'n touch
runnin' around in circles lifelong
for the right person to come along
tryin' to find that special someone 
who'll make us feel complete 'n one
gettin' into relationships too fast 
that somehow were never meant to last
lovin' 'n livin' for people who sway
'n who actually never meant to stay
holdin' painful memories dear
cherishin' mirages with each lonely tear...

In this fruitless quest for the ultimate
we make mistakes to the penultimate
we ignore 'n resist genuine charm
of the one holdin' on 'n meanin' no harm
That special someone's arms 
hold you close without qualms
to comfort you in loss 'n fears
to rejoice in your happy tears
patiently listenin' to you prattle
of everything under the sun's kettle 
laughin' at your silly jokes
makin' you smile with naughty pokes 
givin' you space, yet watching over you 
encouragin' you 'n letting you grow
never judgin' you on world's stories 
holdin' you close 'n carin' thru' distances...

That special one's the ONE for you
who's simply always believed in YOU
one who's longed to make you feel secure
always regrettin' a decision that was immature
not knowing how to go with the flow
'cos they were the ones who'd let you go
one's who've shared a life time walkin'
sharing happiness 'n pain without talkin'
companionship, passion 'n everythin' in-between
was always theirs to take without a screen
they loved, cherished 'n held you high
concealin' their emotions, hidin' every pained sigh
thinkin', wonderin', 'n finally lettin' go
any chances of happiness, lest, you forego... 


Unknowingly, they've never been apart
unacknowledged, yet close to your heart 
you've trusted them with closed eyes
reciprocated emotions thru' all times
'n just like they concealed from you 
you created a mirage of a happy ado
holding back truth 'n feelings behind a veil
walking directionless on a dark 'n lonely trail
too scared to hold on or to let go
wantin' to cling but bidding a longing adieu
thinkin', wonderin', 'n finally lettin' go
lest, you subvert, their chances of happiness too...
