For once I thought

I lost you to time

For once I thought

I lost you to reasons that were not mine

For once I thought I lost you

To people unknown

And for once I thought

You were gone

For once I did not know

what to do

For once I thought all this

because of you

But today when I saw you walking my streets

With sadness darkening your face in streaks

I knew you had reasons of your own

For wanting some time and being alone

And all I wish now is that

You come out of it stronger and wise

And to the heavens may you rise.
