I am that girl

I am the girl who climbed mountains,
Trekked endlessly
And ran outdoors.
I am the girl who was adventurous,
Full of life,
Catching the train to go to the next destination.
But now, I'm the girl who lies flat on her tummy,
Stroking her doggie's belly,
Because her spine cannot handle her energy.
I'm the girl who now sits at her window
Watching the clouds go by,
Because her spirit is slowly dying.
I have now become the girl
Who happily reminisces her past,
Remembering the energy and spirit within her.

What do you do?

What do you do when you no longer care,
Whether it rains or shines,
Or the land is bare?
What happens when you stop wondering whether the birds will fly,
The squirrels chirp or the cows moo?
Similar are the feelings, when people move,
Miles distancing their smiles and their faces fade.
You look back and smile,
Reminiscing the memories,
You look around after a while and keep walking.
Such is life, when things that mattered once,
Don't seem as important.
The clock ticks, the sun sets and the moon is high again.
So you start walking, in the direction of life
Because that is all you know to do.

යළිත් හමුව‌න බලාප‌ොර‌ොත්තුව‌ෙන්...

මා වටපිට බලනා සෑම ම‌ොහ‌ොතක දීම,
දකින්න‌ෙ ඔබ‌ෙ රුවයි.
මා අවට දැන‌ෙනා සිසිලස ද
ඔබ‌ෙ සුවදයි.
මග‌ෙ සිහින ද ඔබ සතුයි,
එහි කුමරා ද ඔබයි.
මා ක‌ෙ‌ස‌ේ ද ‌මේ බව ඔබට පවසන්න‌ෙ? දන්වන්න‌ෙ?
ජීවිතය නම් වූ මේ අඩිපාර‌ෙ මා තනිව ගමන් කරනවා,
කවදා හ‌ෝ යළිත් ඔබව හමුව‌න බලාප‌ොර‌ොත්තුව‌ෙන්.

Oh! I wish I had the answers...

My heart came alive,
As I felt emotions I hadn't felt in a while,
My mind started working at 100km/h
Imagination running wild!
You have an effect on me,
But I don't know how.
I see us in the future,
Yet, I hesitate about today.
Do I wait for you,
Glancing over my shoulder?
Or should I cross the Amazon,
Into the rich wilderness,
That awaits me on the otherside?
Will you walk with me awhile longer
Or should we part ways now?
Oh! I wish I had the answers...
I look up at the sky, 
Praying to the moon I see.
I hope you hear my prayers, 
And remember me, whilst we wait under these same skies.

Magic Spell

You awakened feelings in me
Ignited a fire within me
I didn't know you drew a match
Or how you changed the watch.

What's this magic spell,
you have put on me?
For I feel like I'm in hell,
When I am not with ye.

Do these clouds feel me?
For they seem to cry for me.
Tell me love, will you be
My one and only reassuring key?

A Second Chance?

"How do you lose the one you love?
After giving it all, you gave it up"
Said the men from Westlife, 
About a love somone lost or had to let go of. 

True to their word,
"Lately, I've been missing you like crazy."
Tell me, how do I let these feelings board?
'Coz life has once again becoming very hazy. 

I don't know if you feel the same though,
But the raw sentiments do seem to flow.
I only hope you will let it show,
So that our love can once again glow. 

I don't know if we have a second chance,
I guess I am too afraid to hope. 
This time I know I will be slow in showing my stance,
Because these feelings are a little too intense to cope.

Silly things we do

We are perfectly imperfect,
You and I. 
We have established that, 
In a thousand words or so. 

We smile alone,
At the little things we do.
Not wanting to tell the other
That we miss them so.

Silly things we do to bid time.
Hoping one day, we will be fine,
Finding each other 
Back in our perfectly imperfect world. 

You and I

We spoke the same words,
You and I.
But in two different languages,
We didn't understand each other. 

We shared similar feelings
But we expressed them diffently.
We felt emotions,
But didn't know what to do with them.

We liked similar things,
You and I.
But we chose to remain strangers
Coz we didn't meet in the middle. 

You and I,
We continue to vibe at two elevations,
We feel equally
But in our own unique ways.
