Still Waiting To See You Again
I was standing under a Banyan tree,
There I always stand alone,
In my bad days or even good days,
Even the sun is hot,
Or, weather is cold,
I stand still,
My eyes always trace the path,
By which you departed,
The band of love still hanging in my wrist,
And I was holding one for you,
Now, my eyes were blurred,
As of your path,
I will felt on my knees,
And as always,
Clouds shed their tears,
And hide mine.
