When You Live

When your mind is free and your soul is high,

when people smile at you, who you just passed by,

when hardship rains on you, yet your heart feels dry,

when days come when you laugh and the days you cry.

when the sky is covered with the clouds of doubts,

when you weep you beg you scream and shout,

when you think of things you talked about,

when all the promises made, blacked out.

when you agree on something you denied,

when you would be too feminised,

when you are honest about the times you lied,

when to adjust with them a part of you died.

when you try and try and try and fail,

when you memorise that special day with every detail,

when you are messed up and you look so pale,

when there is too much love followed by betrayal.

when sometimes you think and do and sometimes you do and think,

when you're living your perfect dream, until you blink!

when you're pink, you wink, you clink your drink,

when you're sad and mad and your heart does sink.

when you sit and think of the good old days,

when your heart broke in so many ways,

when you are walking down a lane of haze,

when you make it till the end and your hard work pays.

when you realize what matters the most,

when you have someone to share your coffee and french toast,

when you hold hands while you walk on the coast,

when you were so far, yet you looked so close.

when you feel happy when you give,

when you hug and kiss and forget and forgive,

when you know you could relate to all of it,

well, that's who we are,

and that's when you live !
