My Lover

Late at night,
lonely as i walk
breeze took me away...

You come like a man
but didn't see me
you wait till midnight
and last turned to go

The calm sea
told you to stop
you ignored...
you walked away
even in the heavy rain...
that crazy wind
held you back
but you went away...

And then the cold breeze
took me in her hand
And I was once again back....

I asked that cruel breeze
why did she do so??????

She answered at a low voice
"you told him to stop
but he didn't...
your tears fell on him...
your hands held him back
as the wind
still he didn't realise
it was you...
is that the person
you loved????"

And then I saw it going away
and I'm back with
that calm sea...,
heavy rain..., and
the crazy wind...
