Summer of '98

Arindam Moulick

In this shrinking world of fear

  you have left me alone dear.

I know you had to leave,

  but that is something I utterly grieve.

…and from that moment on

  happy moments of love disappeared     

  and gone…

In the limitless wilderness of time

  this empty little heart of mine

  had fallen prey to a hungry canine!

When you were here

  you filled up my days, dear,

  with your serene ray of cheer.

But I will wait, I will wait

  till the ships back up to the shores

  and you hold my hand in yours.

I will be there for you

  if you should need me.

I will be there for you

  if you wanna love me.
