Praveen Kumar i watched the shadow slowly engulfing my happiness part of me wanted to go away while the other part wanted to stay and put up a brave fight
a fight that will either leave me dead or a fight that will allow me to live i cannot run forever i cannot hide it forever
when i look into the eyes i can see a love restrained a desire to live a desire....
something had been taken from deep inside the secret that i once kept locked from all is now out in the open sometimes i remember the darkness from the past wishing for it to disappear only to reappear again and again
only if i had the powers i would take back the pain only if i had the powers i would retrace all the wrong moves
now frozen here in shock i could only watch with helplessness something in my heart telling me its time to face the shadow and leave it all behind leave the past behind
my happiness is right within my grasp and i am still stuck in the past a past that i cannot change anymore
slowly, my fears subside while the shadows still linger i know the happiness is still within my reach so, never mind the darkness still can find a way cos nothing lasts forever
---------
alternate ending
slowly, my fears subside while the shadows still linger i know the happiness is still within my reach Never opened myself this way Life is ours, we live it our way All these words I don't just say And nothing else matters
