Revenir

When I was a nobody,

you walked in to be somebody,

my life was going no where,

don't know why you wanted to share,

love luck or money I had very few,

and you came out of the blue,

my night is long and I know why,

walk away or you'll just cry..

but you walked with me...

when I didnt have a penny,
those days were really funny
walking into a restaurant was easy,

it's the price list that made me queasy,

walked out quietly, head hung low,

promising some-day i 'll show,

standing in front of a big mall,

and eating by the road-stall

still you walked with me...

when i didn't have a job to pay bills,

those winters of silent chills,

that scooter without a back rest holder,

and you clutched on to my shoulder,

the ride long and winding,

getting lost and then finding,

but then one day when it broke down,

I was kicking but you didn't frown

and you walked with me...

the local trains were jammed,

you got jostled and rammed,

the rickshaws wouldn't oblige,

night shows and the fights,

the bus was always late,

getting a seat together wasn't my fate,

I stood hanging by the bar,

your eyes moist like twinkling star,

your soft smile and that little sob,

kept me going every day,

and you walked with me...

the day i decided to leave,

to make my dream weave,

the packings were silent,

the smiling goodbyes were diligent,

the tear drops asked me to stay,

the lips never parted,but the eyes gave it away,

the walk into the plane was long,

but I had to be strong,

away I went over the seven seas,

leaving behind my treasure of memories,

and you walked with me...

many moons had passed away,

I sat by the same subway,

as the trains rushed by,

the strangers asked me why,

I would've jumped on the track

but a hand held me back,

It rained hard that evening,

as I looked up in the sky,

I saw you crying and saying..

I ll always walk with you...
