just around the corner



Why do I see you cry? Why do I see you numb?
Where’s that smile of yours and that chirpy voice that I love?
Is it because you don’t see me around or you feel that I am gone?
How should I tell you, how should I let you know?
I am not gone kid, would I ever leave you a mourner?
 I am right here, just around the corner


Remember the walks we used to take embracing the rain
Remember the times we would sit by the window and listen to Mozart
Look there, the player is still there and so is the window
Put on the record and watch the rain pour
I am not gone kid, would I ever leave you a mourner?
I am right here, just around the corner

The genteel stroke of my hand grazing through your hair!
Oh how you would frown and that’s what I loved the most
Hands wet with tears I see you muddle your hair
Why do you cry kid? I still love this look
I am not gone kid, would I ever leave you a mourner?
I am right here, just around the corner

I still hear those whispers of our late hour, all night conversations
The chuckles and the sighs that reflected our concord of togetherness
Oh and how we felt it would last forever till eternity…
Look at our same old place kid, I am still there to ease your pain
I am not gone kid, would I ever leave you a mourner?
I am right here, just around the corner

That early morning rush when you would miss your breakfast always
My irksome nagging won’t quite change this habit,  
There is the plate, the spoon and the meal; now all you have to do is eat!
I am not gone kid, would I ever leave you a mourner?
I am right here, just around the corner

The fireplace for our night-time reading and that glass of white wine sitting on those arm-chairs
I can see the fireplace all dull, those books getting dusty
Take the step and light it, on the arm-chair you might see me
I am not gone kid, would I ever leave you a mourner?
I am right here, just around the corner
Those prints of our feet on the sand, a set of two
The gazing up above, watching the stars in that dark sky
Those reminiscent times, a memory of just us two
The beach is the same and so is the sky, take the step and look up above to the sky so high
I am not gone kid, would I ever leave you a mourner?
I am right here, just around the corner

I don’t like that wet pillow with tears all soaked in
Your pain is throbbing; it’s an unbearable heart-ache
And NO!! Don’t force a smile; don’t fake a laugh
Just know that I am still a part of you, living; breathing inside of you
I am not gone kid, would I ever leave you a mourner?
I am right here, just around the corner

I am in a meadow with heavenly diffusive serene lighting
Pure and divine, I feel like I am complete
Been robbed of all my pain and suffering I now float above the world, you see
I see you, I feel you and of-course I love you
I am not gone kid, would I ever leave you a mourner?
I am right here, just around the corner

I make a promise to wait for you forever till time
A belief I impart to you that we will be one again
Fight, hurt, laugh, cry and love again
Fate is too small a power to change what we share
I am not gone kid, would I ever leave you a mourner?
I am right here, just around the corner

But till then I need you to know I am not to the left or to the right
Don’t look beside or up above in the stars,  
Not in that picture hung on the wall or some new avatar
I am still breathing , in your laugh, your smile , your heart
I am a part of you and you a part of me, this is reality
Because I am not gone kid, would I ever leave you a mourner?
I am right here, just around the corner
It's funny how an end is also the cause for a beginning :)
