You Don't Love Me

I quietly surrender to the destiny’s verdict
Memorizing the very fact that you don’t love me

I read your name in all the lines across my hand
And one day you ask me ‘sorry, I forgot your name’

My eyes search for you wherever I go
You look through me as you have never known me before

I waited for you like you are my ultimate harbor
You walked past like I was no part of your travel

I walked around with you as though I possess you
You waved a Good Bye, without realizing the parting wound

I quietly surrender to the destiny’s verdict
Memorizing the very fact that you don’t love me

Her eyes were fixed
at the tears of his eyes
Now they had to fall
On her wedding night
The love she longed to see
is in his eyes today
the commitment she wanted to hear
is in his voice today.
But today someone is waiting
To tie a wedding knot with her
Somebody whose hopes for life
Are already engaged with her
