Sudden Change


Year by year affection grew stronger, We were held in deep affection But now we are scattered because of affliction, We were very affectionate towards people, Now we are caught in this affectation. We thought it was a good beginning, Sadly it was the beginning of the end of our dreams. Is this the end of the journey for us? Yes! everything happened suddenly But do we really have to admit and live with this change? We went through difficulties, And we finally reached the decision because the moment of decision had arrived. The worst comes to the worst, What is the worst thing that could happen because indecisiveness makes us our own worst enemies? Well i guess it was time fraught with difficulties and frustrations, Oh! no we failed to show great courage and determination. Soldiers of love became cowards, We loved and lost, We loved because we had hope of being together permanently But now we lost because we displayed cowardice in the face of difficulties. We don't want to commit! But the heart is ready for commitment. Isn't this the good time to commit ourselves and settle all matters beyond dispute? We had confidence, We used to overcome our natural difference, We used to speak with great frankness, And now... EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED, And now... We are diffident, We admitted to live this life, We admitted to live with this change. Many were executed for remaining true to their principles, We have always been true to ourselves, We knew true love, We believed love comes deep inside the heart, But now true love is replaced by hearts of liars and Pretenders, And we hesitate, We believe true love does not exist. "TIME HEALS ALL WOUNDS" is our everyday song. Gone are those days Where love was like a flower, Where beauty would grow And feelings would flow. Isn't this the good time to renew hearts that died many moons ago? We had all kinds of thoughts running through our minds, And the mind was completely occupied by positivity, But now.... Positive minds became negative, The power of positive thought vanished just like fire Prepared with papers. All good thoughts had vanished. Isn't this an appropriate time to take our weaknesses and translate them into positives? These days when i look around my spirit sinks, When i look again i can't believe my eyes, Everything above me has changed, Everything below me has changed And everything around me has changed me. Our spirits lives in this world Yet we are dead. We are lost souls! Mothers found themselves In a position of responsibility And fathers turned a blind eye. We patiently kneeled down while eyes were blinded by tears, And realised chasing after these men won't make the blindest bit. Good times loved us for a moment, Money is said to be the tool of happiness yet it proves itself to be the root of all evil. Innocent people are found guilty And our justice system is failing us. This sudden cchange kills! Slowly but surely it kills.
