Owlie And Birdie

by Malini Nair   Jun 17, 2009


Nobody will ever know
that inside now i feel
completely empty,
This fake smile now
that i always wear
is there because i left the
real one far behind
far behind into the times
when i was a part of you

Nobody will ever know
That i am crying inside
because no-one ever is going to see
see the tears that fall in the dark
And when still you see me laughing,
laughing at a joke that could help me
help me keep
my fake happiness alive,
secretly inside only i know,
that i am praying hard
and wishing you were there
there with me to bring on the real joy

Nobody will ever know
how painful it is,
to be still alive
when i feel so dead
they think i am strong
but no one knows i am just trying hard
hard to pull myself along,
they say this is not gonna take my life,
i wonder whether
they will be proved wrong....

Nobody knows how hard i pray
for you to change your mind
They think that i let you go
but the truth is am all alone
on myself with you in my memories

Nobody will ever realise how much i miss you
cause they think i feel set free
but now i am like a captive
captive who has no tomorrow
Nobody will realise how much i need you
And they say i can do it on my own
But they don't know that i am crying
when i am on my own
and that the only one who kept me strong
has left me behind to
figure out who i am on my own

Nobody will know what it meant to me
and its disheartening
to live it up as a memory
came so far
to lose it all in the end
and now it seems like
it doesn't even matter
however hard i try
and now dat i am free
free to happily linger
linger around a self made illusion
am living an illusion
am living a dream
don't wake me up
cause i might not be able to face reality now

gazed out into the moonlit night
but now the stars itself refuse to shine
and after all this time
i wonder why i am still on my own
when the real place where i belong
seems all gone

and now thank you
is what I have to say
thank you for the dream
cause without you
i would have never known
that the dream was you
thank you for the nights
in which i was warm
even though you were miles away
thank you for the days
that were larger than life
thank you for the words
that got me through
the hard times i faced
thank you for the laugh
that spread like sunshine
on a cloudy day
thank you for the support
that made me who i am
thank you for loving me
even if it was for a day or two
have lived it enough
to see it beyond just a memory

and now that you have decided to go
i won't stop you
no i won't
i would thank you
for the decisions you make
cause you are still here in my life
even though i am ages behind
breeding my despair
thank you for helping me look
beyond my pain
and for being just who you are

even though I am
just a shadow of who
I used to be
You still remain
More than a memory
And more than a dream
To which I am constantly tryin
To find some reality

And I am taking time
To realize
Who I have become without you
Don�t let go of me completely
Cause I don�t know where the
Winds would lead me too

And In the end
for a new beginning
It�s a thank you
Thank you for being who you are
Cause you made me who I am
