We walked alone
Though pain and dust
Faltering sometimes
But go on we must
For what we shared
Was special, was true
It made no sense
To let it undo
And so we trudged
With our heads held high
Mostly smiling
But sometimes shy
For this was new
To the two of us
Being in love
Whats the fuss?
Well parents for starters
And culture for sure
Notions about marriage
And then some more
Religion and custom
Temples too
Smoking and alcohol
What to do?!
And so we waded
Through water neck deep
Our spirits elated
Hearts seeped.
With love and kindness
Wisdom galore
Old love, new depths
Of that we were sure
But ghosts from the past
Began to unravel
In all sorts of forms
From insecurity to travel
And so it was decided
To part ways
So that we grew stronger
Promising future days
There were tears and heartbreak
And phonecalls and drives
But both of us knew
That this was just right
So surrounded by love
Us two souls bade adieu
Knowing that in this life
Love like this comes to so few
