Like the wind, or be its gust,
I gotta move on, I must..

Searching for accomplices,

I came across faces..

Faces which were never true,

Mask over masks, I couldn’t see through..

Leaving them behind and watching them fade,

Full of remorse, still no time for ballade..

Coz, Like the wind, or be its gust,

I gotta move on, I must..

Carryin’ their scents along as I continue,

Hoping them to last as long as I meet new..

If I stop, I would die out,

And there would be no one to whine loud..

This thought makes me move on,

I continue my search for the ones to rely on..

Like the wind, or be its gust,

I gotta move on, I must..

Only a few came, who seemed fair,

Uptil transient journey to cross roads could spare..

Constraints of paths played their part,

In no time, friends once were strangers apart..

Beginning to reach a conclusion,

Companionship is simply an illusion..

But, being the wind, or its gust,

I gotta move on, I must..

Now I understand, myself being elemental to Gemini,

World’s not I for you, but a play of I for I ..

Symbolic to my two faces, are the twins,

Swift n rash, gentle n harsh, bearing smiles n grins..

But, at least for once, I wish to believe,

Relations do exist, but I am a naïve..

So, like the wind or, be its gust,

I gotta move on, I must..
