a TOAST

life's full of twists and turns
and I stand on one such turn today
I'm leaving behind everything known
I have to go my own way
It is by no means simple or easy
but it is something i just have to do
I'm not sure what my destination is
But i have to walk..i have to go
I gather up all the moments together
'Memories' they are called now
We try not to cry as we leave
and we promise to meet somehow
we take pictures, fill slam books
we'll never loose touch we say
Of course we mean it
of course we'll try
but who is to tell
what will come by

So here is to you friend
I raise a toast..
For just being you and letting me be me
for everything that was shared as "we"
I can't promise to stay in touch
But I promise to never move apart
for meet we never may again
but you'll stay forever in my heart.

mid sea

you put me on the boat, stayed there
you always rowed,we moved towards the shore
you always had control over the oars
I just got so used to sitting here
and so used to you just being there
never worried about the destination
I left it all upto you
yes maybe i took it all for granted

I never fretted about the rain or the storm
I had complete faith in you
but then suddenly you left one day
and awam away towards the shore
I don't know where you went
but you did leave me. You did
Maybe you didn't mean it..but you left
maybe it wasn't your fault, but you left
and I was left all on my own
with no idea about what to do
I didn't know to row
and I hadn't learnt to swim
I held on for life had to move on
and over time I learnt to row
it was hard then, it is hard now
and it just gets harder each day
and when i sleep at night
I don't know if I can row at dawn
