Before The Last Petal Falls

a face I thought I memorized in time

slowly becomes a face of a stranger

the heart I thought I tied with mine

throbs the sharpest spear to my heart

long before, these thoughts never occurred to me

but as leaves fall slowly, it becomes part of reality

I never held her in the neck

nor bounded her within my reach

too liberal I was, that now all I wanted was to turn back time

I am no god, I have no power

to negate all these qualms

I love her, cared for her as delicately as i would a rose

but she grew thorns

that it was hard for me to come close

it maybe sad but true

that the bond we have exists no more

i've ventured far and high for the love of her

even risked a thousandth life

conquered a number of mountains

but i guess whatever's between us is now exhausted

it isn't what it was yesterday

I am now a no one compared to who I was to her before

I am trying to win her back ...
... though

and be the road rough and foggy

she is worth all the pains

worth all the risks

not because she would have done the same thing

not because she completes me

not because she has been my wonderwall

not because she's one of us

but simply because of a reason devoid of meaning by time

a reason that has slipped from the tongues of many

a reason we seldom believe in

folks, i love her

yes, love

I love her as I would a sister I never had

I loved her and I love her still

and though destiny and the world may doubt this

my love for her will shame them all

because for the love of her I'll hold on

i'll fight, i'll combat by hook or by crook
